Parachute Frame Mount Kit

The Chassis Engineering Parachute Frame Mount Kit (model C/E7601) is a weld-on drag parachute bracket system designed for vehicles requiring aerodynamic braking assistance at high speeds. This steel mounting kit provides a secure, universal platform for attaching parachute systems to a vehicle's frame, commonly used in drag racing, high-performance motorsports, and situations where conventional braking alone is insufficient for safe deceleration from extreme velocities.

Constructed from steel in natural finish, the parachute mount bracket is engineered for permanent frame installation via welding, ensuring maximum load-bearing capacity during parachute deployment. The single-bracket configuration weighs 8.1 pounds and measures 25.25 inches in length, 6.5 inches in width, and 4.25 inches in depth—dimensions optimized to fit most standard frame geometries without compromising chassis integrity. The design prioritizes structural rigidity necessary to handle the extreme lateral and rearward forces generated when a parachute deploys during high-speed runs.

This kit is suited for drag racers, motorsports competitors, and builders modifying vehicles for track-only use where supplemental braking systems improve safety margins. The universal design accommodates multiple vehicle types and frame configurations, making it a practical choice for custom builds and professional racing applications. Natural steel construction allows for powder coating or painting to match vehicle aesthetics while maintaining corrosion resistance through proper finish application.

Drag parachute systems represent a proven, complementary deceleration method in motorsports engineering, particularly valuable in environments where ambient temperatures, brake fade, or repeated high-speed stops could compromise conventional brake performance. Frame-mounted brackets are the foundation of any reliable parachute installation, and this Chassis Engineering kit delivers the welded durability demanded by serious track applications.
