Harness recertifications

BTR69 · 01-31-2024, 07:23 PM

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 Way out of date since we parked the car in 2014.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

Keith 944 · 01-31-2024, 08:21 PM

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
