Harness recertifications
 

Good evening. I'm looking for input on seat belts/harnesses. It's my understanding they need to be updated every 2 years. I assume this means either replaced or recertified. My car currently has a Simpson 5 point harness. Way out of date since we parked the car in 2014. I understand Simpson doesn't recertify their harnesses. Who would you recommend for a new harness? I'd prefer one who can/will recertify their belts and one who pays contingency. Not that I expect to be paid any contingencies, but I prefer to consider the folks who offer that, to support racers. Thanks.

Pro 1 belts

Pro 1
White

I really like the looks of the pro ones they pay Contingency, certain national events
I went with white after having the pro ones not pay a few races. White pays all division races only. Both re-certified

Another vote for Pro 1 here. Always super nice and helpful over the phone and recertifies belts quickly!

I just buy new. I have been using RJS lately. Seems they all buy the same hardware. Not worth the hassle and cost to ship back and forth plus the cost of recertification

Re: Harness recertifications
 

Agree harnesses are a disposable item and it’s what I’ve been doing since I purchased my first Simpson harness in 1996. Besides I like new stuff.

Re: Harness recertifications
 

I always used Simpson.
They used to recertify theirs, but actually what you got was a complete reweb, they only used the hardware.
but that was back in the 90s

Re: Harness recertifications
 

As far as I know all "recerts" are actually "rewebs".

Probably takes more labor to reweb than to make a new one, but I like the idea of reusing the hardware.

Re: Harness recertifications
 

That's how they did it back in the day...
Don't know now.

RCI. Re certs any seat belt

RCI won't recertify other brands, they will give you a trade in.

Re: Harness recertifications
 

i agree i just called them today about that…

Re: Harness recertifications
 

Yes we (PRO 1) offer recertification/rewebb on our belts, we are not allowed per SFI to rewebb another manufactures belts.Most are not aware that the recert process requires rewebbing the entire belt and not just attaching a new SFI tag.Most companies that do not offer recert/rewebbing is because they are not made here in the USA..
