Hi everyone.
I'm getting a Roll Cage installed by Sharkwerks next week and I think I want to get some Red 5pt Harness belts as my interior has the red stitching and red belts.
Besides Schroth, any other brands I might look into?
Thank you for the help.

I imagine Fred meant six point. Nobody likes looking at those photos of the driver with the "distended ********" trauma ... aargh!
Does Porsche use Schroth or Stand 21 or OMP? I need to go to my parts warehouse and check ... I could have sworn I had Porsche harnesses from Stand 21, but they don't seem to exist (!) so I guess it's OMP.
I'm pretty sure I have some Sparco and Sabelts that are close to, or already out of date ... maybe these vendors need to offer a refurb program to replace the webbing and re-use the hardware rather than use the arbitrary rules of the competition sanctioning bodies to force amateur racers to update?

Fred,
Check out Schroth. They make a 6 point that is GT3 specific. The red belts would look nice.

Hi Fred,
The one and only

I originally had 2 X red schroth 6 pointers in my Mark.1 RS but changed them out for Black ones to match seat belts and the red clashed with the other colours. To me the Black looks cleaner..thats my 2p`s worth

Now, like you I have the pet peeve about the "arbitrary" replacement. On the other side of the argument, SUPPOSEDLY the nylon webbing loses 80% of its strength after about two years, from both age and exposure. It's out there on one of the manufacturer's data sheets, but I can't think of which one for the moment. (I think it was wrapped into a discussion somewhere on the fake SFI/Impact decertification chatter a couple of weeks ago.)
(I sure seem to be coming over here a lot lately, in trying to talk someone who has no business buying an '07 GT3 out of one.)

Yeah, but what are the real savings, when you consider time to pull everything apart, shipping back and forth, time down, etc. etc. Look at Schroth retail, and even though I didn't have to pay that for the replacements for the Radical last year, it's just not that big of a deal.

Schroth, who makes belts for just about everyone else. Avoid the GT3 versions as they don't have the 3/2" Hans device version. OG tends to have some deals on 1 year old Sparcos (made by Schroth I understand).

I just bought a pair of the Schroth GT3s in black, from HMS...@ $460 each...best price I could find.
Schroth does not re-web...I checked w/ the factory.

Whether it's O3 or Ozone or UV or whatever, hell, just spray the belts with SPF90 (we'll all be using it before too long ... it's snowing in California in Spring for Pete's sake!) ... one way or another, if Apple can ship the iPad through five cities from China to the USA and make a profit, the race harness companies can figure out how to put new nylon together cheaper than just throwing everything into the land fill waste dump that's making that UV problem I was mentioning ...
