Re: Collector Tether Question
 

that set for $59 looks like the way to go --- cheap gets the job done and NHRA accepted--- ya almost cant build em for that with all the running around chasing parts cutting/fabricating /calculating materials and sizes etc. Bolt em on and away we go-- maybe the price will come down a bit but how much $10-15 youre still looking at $45-50--- bite the bullet and buy em then your all done legal and everything--my thoughts on it--FED387

Re: Collector Tether Question
 

It's a NHRA general regulation effective 2014 so yes, all cars with removable collectors (you stitch weld 1/2 inch on each primary tube as an option). Enforcement would be up to your local track tech person.

Re: Collector Tether Question
 

We've got fenderwell headers, tethers are going to be very visible (ugly), but I've been curious how tech is going to verify tethers on most modern low slung cars?

Slide a mirror under? ramps? spot check?

'ya think tech will be slow?

Re: Collector Tether Question
 

That's the only they would see mine. I assume that is what they will do.
Yeah, it won't be fast. LOL
I mean tech, not my car. Well, it probably won't be either. LOL

Re: Collector Tether Question
 

Randall,
You can attach the tether system of your choice to the inside of the headers (towards the fender-well) so they will be just about invisible. The clamp on the collector will be visible but it's stainless so it will be OK.

As far as bracket racing and collector tethers, YES, they are required unless each tube has at least 1/2" weld to collector.

So no National Event payouts?

Re: Collector Tether Question
 

I called Pat today about collector extensions - do not want to assume that just because they are not specifically mentioned that they are not included - do you need one for the extension and one for the collector?

Re: Collector Tether Question
 

Andy's Dad...
I would think that a collector extension will require a separate tether.....and in addition, an new tether-tether to connect the two tethers. This new tether-tether will require NASA certification and available at a discount price of $149.95 for all who sign up for Obamacare by midnight tonight (EST).

Getting to be winter here in the Motor City....

The tether-tether clamps must also be torqued to specifications and sealed with approval by inspector 12 from the fruit of the loom underwear company.
