safety harness
 
Let me hear about your favorite Safety Harness company. I am near the purchase time for a new set, plan to buy the cam lock style.

My favorite was Impact, but with accusations of counterfit SFI tags. I bought Simpson this year. I have always bought Camlock harnesses.

Take a look at Crow Industries in Anaheim, CA. very nice product they
offer both latch and cam lock. Service was fast and easy and the price
was very fair. I know they have a web site.

I would see who is paying contengincy (if any) and then compare... We need to support any company if they will step to the plate and pay......

Impact has been sold, all is well with SFI.

dad and I both have stroud, and couldn't be happier. I like that the camlock attaches to the crotch belt. It allows you to drop it to the floor and not sling it all over the interior of the car.

Chad,

Thanks for your post, that is the helpful feedback I needed.

I've used Crow Industries cam lock and really like them too. The fact that their re-webbing service is easy, quick and reasonable makes it even better. Custom lengths are no problem and you have a choice of colors for the webbing too. I have rewebbed with them multiple times too.

Joe, I took a used set of belts I got into Crow Industries to have them rewebed
and came back the next day to pick up and took them home to install.....found out
they would not fit my "fat" body (and I'm way smaller than Jeff Teuton by alot).
so I took them back in to Crow and explained what I did wrong and they fixed
the problem (gave me longer side belts) again the next day, no charge.

Philip, will Crow reweb brands other than their own? (ie G-Force)

Gordie,

Yes they will redo any brand, the original set I started with was a out of date
set Bill Riddle gave me for my project, Crow redid them (or just gave me
another new set?) and the charge was about $48.00.

I live close so no shipping, but they will ship no problem.

My choice for many years, quick turn around when I get the belts rewebbed/recertified.

They also made me a custom window net that fits well.

Belts have to be returned and recertified after two years, which gets expensive. RCI Platinum Series belts come with a re-cert card for one free re-cert with about $20 shipping cost. I'll find out how well that works in a couple months.

I have used Stroud cam lock harness for years. Just remember that your life may depend on that safety harness, and you get what you pay for. The Stroud harness saved my life, involved in racing accident in 2008 and the harness did its job, sure glad I spent the extra money for very good quality made in America harness.

Re: safety harness
 
The harness is only one component of the safety-system. The biggest concern when talking about Stockers is the use of stock-seats and how the harness is mounted.
Today do we have stockers trapping at 130mph, that with stock seats and the harness mounted way wrong. Hit the wall and you will get severe chest and pelvis problems...You are not safe.

Happy and Safe New Year guys!

I'll put my $.02 worth in for Safety Solutions. I was fortunate at Beech Bend this year to win a safety makeover from those folks. They came to my car and showed me how the belts should be properly routed. They do alot of work with NHRA and automotive manufacturers. There is more than just purchasing a set of belts and bolting them in.
