harnesses

[Simon Crook]

Just checked my harness in the race car and seen the date on the FIA tag says "Not valid after 2007" so is that a given I can NOT use them ???

[Chris Yates]

I'm afraid so. A couple of years ago the MSA adopted the FIA 'lifing' rules for belts, such that every set of belts has a 5 year (I think) life on them, no matter how much they're used. Once they're past their expiry date, you can't use them for UK MSA sanctioned circuit racing.

Thanks Chris, just had that confirmed by the MSA (B****R)

Chris you being the man in the know: Do we get a discount from Sabelt as I am now in the market for a new harness..............

[Paul Robertson]

 yes simon ,all club members if they contact steve on steve @sabelt.co.uk (without the space)and tell him they are 2cv racers get a fair discount against all sabelt goods.My harness was nearly £100 cheaper than demon tweeks list price. :o

[Chris Yates]

I'm not sure what prices you can get at Sabelt, but I know these guys do very 'cost-effective' harnesses. I have used them myself:

£89.95 + £13.50 p&p for a 4-point harness.
£95.95 + £13.50 p&p for a 6-point harness.

Thanks Chris.................... and Paul I will say it before you, if I had got my finger out and finished the car when I brought it I would have had a season and a half use out of them!
