944 cup Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Question....Right side window net? Is there some requirement in NASA now for those little triangle head restraints or are you talking about a window net on the passenger side? Greg F Greg: Referring to the little triangle net to the right of the driver, and not a window net for passenger side window. NASA also allows a seat with a wrap around/halo feature, in lieu of the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more to make five would make a difference. Mikael Weitze emailed me about a rental car. I gave him Mantis Sport's info, but have not heard back. The issue is there being so few cars in the Midwest, but that is changing. Like we always ay here in Chicago (about the Cubs), there's always next year. It will be fun to be out there with a bunch of 944's anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
