Whom ever you pick, just make sure they are NHRA approved. There are several people out there just building their own, and selling them without being NHRA approved. You will not pass TECH.

NHRA keeps updating the list of approved ones, here's the latest approved product list, tethers on the last page. I see D2's own Keith Fulp has an approved tether available. Like the logo on his, should make it easy for tech to pass them without looking too hard.

I got a set from Keith at Reynolds. took all of 5 min for me to install them, vey happy with them and good looking product. Always good to support one of our own.

Thanks for all the help! Looks like Lokar and Collector Tethers are the only ones that pay so far. That's honestly the most important part to some of my guys, the contingency.

Does the tether rule also include bracket cars running local tracks?

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

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?

[Ed Wright]

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

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.
