Re: Header Tethers - Jury IN or OUT
 

I think it was a long string of incidents that finally brought it to a head...been hearing of this for nearly 15 years now.

Sad that so many maintain their cars so poorly that the rest of us have to pay.
I'm not paying. Just welding. Screw it.

Does this type of extension even fit the requirement for the tethers?

Re: Header Tethers - Jury IN or OUT
 

Well, I suppose you could say the pot has been stirred. I just received a private email from Collector Cable with a pdf of my original invoice and text simply suggesting that having that copy available during tech could head off any hassles. I might add that I purchased my tethers online 1/23/14 and received and installed them 1/27/14. I am extremely happy with both the product and the service received. Installation was seamless and I'm completely satisfied with the finished appearance and thankful for a reasonably priced item that doesn't appear either cheap or Mickey Mouse.

Michael, I've seen plenty of this style rust from the inside out right at the 3 bolt flange area. Flanges stay bolted together and collector falls off.

Probably only a D6 problem up here in the Northwest????

I got the same, mine dated 12/08/2013. Thanks to Jok for looking out for all his customers. I have already printed out a copy and will be keeping it in the glove box.

Generally a "piece of paper" approving something hasn't held much sway with tech. Just sayin'

Re: Header Tethers - Jury IN or OUT
 

Well, it's just a piece of paper in the rule book as well. ;)

Re: Header Tethers - Jury IN or OUT
 

I'm thinking NHRA didn't tell these manufacturers that they needed etched I.D. proof on every piece of the tethers. This deal certainly isn't the fault of the tether manufacturers. Once again we have seven divisions with seven different ideas of how one rule should be implemented. It's the computer age guys! Lack of communications strikes again! Jim

Re: Header Tethers - Jury IN or OUT
 

I have to believe that, "every" manufacturer seeking approval submitted a sample of "every" model to NHRA for approval and that NHRA, subsequently, issued the approvals based on the samples submitted. I further doubt that "any" of the approved manufacturers would then, on their own, deviate from the approved sample that they had submitted by altering the product shipped to their customer. Following that logic only leaves the possibility of a lower level official adding his or her own interpretation to the approved description and none of us have ever even heard of that happening. LOL
