Where can I find a quick release for a right side net. I've got a net, just haven't gotten far enough to figure out the quick release end.

Thanks!

What brand of net did you get? Every one I've installed has had a QR built in...

Sailboat shop has those types of quick releases. They're expensive though. That money you saved on the cheaper net will be gone by the time you leave the shop. Ask me how I know.

I believe it's a G-Force, $15.00. No hardware.

Try SafeQuip. They make custom stuff, so they might sell you the hardware.

You could use a Q.R. buckle welded tro a rod with a tap to weld to the upper roll cage like you would find at Behling Racng Equipment or Pegasus for about $30.00. You would still need a support rod & two tabs at the bottom.

[/b]They are referred to as snap shackles, and are sourced from Australia, France and China, IIRC. That's a very broad range of quality and price. You will not find titanium alloy snap shackles on anything cheap.

The one I got had a tension rating Gregg, many 1000's of lbs but I don't remember exactly.

More than adequate, one would think.

I plan on using a seat belt buckel from our 91 caprice wagon.

I dont think we will ever have 8 passengers ;)
