Finally scored a harness bar for the car and now need to find a decent 5 point harness. I definitely want the cam-lock style but don't know exactly what will work best.
Are there certain sizes models that fit our cars better than others? I also want something I can attach to the bar rather than bolt to the firewall. |

Don't discount the "quick release" so hastily...
If you are racing...some cam locks have been known to stick due to non metal parts in the mechanism binding....exaggerated by heat (so you dont want it near fire). If you are just doing AutoX or DE then you should be okay with a cam lock. Quick release is a bit less user friendly but you can get out quick... on any harness check the stiching by the mounting points and latch mechanism. look for a "box" stiching with a "zig zag" patten inside for strength. 3" belts are widely approved for racing.... Most harness' are adjustable and can work with a variety of set ups...stay away from "y" harness'...a good 5 point will work fine. You can decide whether you want a bolt in or clip in (at the bottom)....the top should wrap around the bar and be secured with a fastener. You may wish to check out the SCCA rules on their website. |
