HMS Motorsport HMS Window Net Hardware Kit
Product Information
The HMS GT Window Net Kit is designed to provide added safety and security for drivers during racing or high-performance driving. It includes all the necessary components to install a window net in a vehicle, ensuring that the net is properly secured and able to effectively protect the driver in the event of an accident.
Product Usage Instructions
- Start by placing the Long Mounting Tab towards the front of the upper bar. The positioning of the tab may vary depending on the chassis of the vehicle. For Miata’s and similar models, place it before the bend. For BMW and similar models, place it after the bend. Refer to the provided picture for visual guidance.
- Attach the Long Mounting Tab using 2 Mounting band clamps. Ensure that the tab is oriented so that it is pointing towards the side window. This will help with proper alignment for the spring bar engagement. Again, refer to the provided picture for visual guidance. Note that depending on the cage design, you may need to bend the front tab ear towards the front of the car for proper alignment. Avoid excessive bending back and forth as it can weaken the bracket.
- Insert the Spring Loaded Bar into the net, making sure that the spring pin side is oriented towards the rear.
- To install the Clamp Handle, first, remove the #6-32×38 screw. Then, using a flathead screwdriver or a pry tool, pry open the Clamp Handle. While prying, wiggle the handle while simultaneously applying downward pressure to slide the Clamp Handle over the silver tip and onto the gold portion of the bar. Once on the gold portion, it will freely slide. Reinstall the #6-32×38 socket head screw to secure the Clamp Handle in place.
- Install the Lower Bar through the lower portion of the net. Then, install Collar Clamps on either end of the Lower Bar to secure the net to the bar.
- For mounting the straps, wrap each one-meter Mounting Strap using 3 bar slides on either side of the Lower Bar. Wrap the opposite side of the strap to the door bar using the remaining 3 bar slides. Try to reach as low as possible and route the mounting straps on the outside of the door bars. This will help pull the net closer to the window and maintain tension on the window net.
Following these instructions will ensure the proper installation and usage of the HMS GT Window Net Kit, providing enhanced safety for drivers during high- performance driving activities.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
This Kit is intended to provide the choice of Welding in the brackets or as a “Bolt in” window net mount. If the brackets are not welded in, It should only be mounted with the supplied Band Clamps, that have been specially designed for this application vs normal “Hose Clamps” Please do not substitute clamps for anything other than is provided unless welding the brackets to the bar*
- Place Short Mounting Tab on rear portion of upper B pillar bar close to the intersection of the main hoop. Attach Short mounting Tab using 2 Mounting band clamps. One on each side as pictured. * Do not use an impact, only hand tools and do not over tighten or the band clamp will be damaged)
- Place Long Mounting Tab towards the front of the upper Bar either before or after the bend depending on the chassis it is going in. Miata’s etc. before, Bmw’s etc. after the bend. See picture.
- Attach Long Mounting Tab with 2 Mounting band clamps with tab oriented so that it is pointing towards the side window. See picture.
- **NOTE*** Depending on the cage design, the front tab ear may need to be bent towards the front of the car to allow proper alignment so the spring bar engages fully. Try to avoid bending the bracket back and forth as this could weaken the bracket.
