AlC Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Just got round to opening my hood bag. It's got a velcro loop each end which is clearly there to strap it to the roll cage. But there were also a couple of separate, loose straps each 125 x 30mm or so, and each with velcro covering half of each side. They came in their own "compartment" within the poly bag & look like they're intended to loop round to velcro to themselves in the same way the pre-fitted loops do. But there's nothing on the hood bag to attach them to. What are they for? Sorry if I'm being really dumb. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Are they to tie up the rolled hood before inserting it in the hood bag ? Ditch the full hood and buy a half hood ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlC Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Are they to tie up the rolled hood before inserting it in the hood bag ? They're nowhere near long enough for that - good thought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul seymour Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 might be to extend around a roll bar ,sv may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlC Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 That sounds plausible if the verticals are further apart on an SV - I have a standard CC Track-day rollbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Quoting Paul Seymour: might be to extend around a roll bar ,sv may be? No it is not that. I have the same velcro "extender" straps which came fitted to the hood bag stitched straps to effectively make the loop around the roll bar uprights them bigger (if that makes sense). I ended up removing them as they were not needed for the width of a CSR. I put them away figuring I would work out a use for them one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Marsh Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I had them for my SV sized hood, but never used them. I've now lost at least one, so I'll no doubt find that they are critical for something soon enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted September 30, 2011 Area Representative Share Posted September 30, 2011 Never found a use for them, but assumed they were for use with a rollcage. I think the hood is/was made to fit over one of the cages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
