Are 5 point Harnesses no longer legal?
Just noticed my 5 pt harness are out of date as of today.
Was going to shop for some new ones, but all I am seeing are 6 points.
I'll be honest, I'd like to be lazy and just reuse the mounting hardware for my existing 5 point system... but Are 5 point Harnesses no longer legal/available in FIA?
***********5 pt. harnesses can no longer receive a FIA homologation. SFI continues to certify 5 pt. harnesses for track use. In some vehicles, especially formula and older or vintage model, only 5 pt. harnesses can be fitted.

Looks like 6 point it is....
