5 point harness?

[NDW]

I am interested in a 5 point harness for a Gen 2 GTS. What harness is the best in your opinion, driver and passenger sides? This car will still be a daily driver, with a little track time on the weekends.

No question, Team Tech from Jon B.

I installed per Henry & Janni Cones very detailed directions and love it. I got the 5 / 6 point option and much prefer the 6 point for Viper Days events.

Be careful on the inner seat belt eye hook. On mine it ended up tearing the inner seat cushion because of the way the factory mounted my seat. Test fit everything first before sliding the seat for and aft. If obstruction is found, fine tune rather then muscling it as I did.

Hello,

We offer RJS 5 point harnesses that have 3" shoulder and lap belts. These have a sewn on tag that shows SFI approval for all sanctioned racing events.

They use the state of the art Cam Lok fastening mehcanism for quick connect and release. The harnesses are not big and bulky and provide the ultimate in protection without the irritation associated with many other brands.

You can have them in your choice of Red, Black or Blue.

Cost is $ 149.00 Per Set.

Thanks,

Tom

Just keep in mind that anything other than the stock three points are considered illegal by DOT. Just don't want you guys recieving a fine.

I liske the look of the team techs but I don't like the fit. I had a mustang tuner install them so Not sure if they are installed wrong or maybe the size is wrong. they look awesome but mine dont fit comfortable.

Technicality. Federal law requires 3points to be installed from the factory, but is also ok to install 5/6 points. If you got pulled over while having you 5points fastened it would depend on the specific wording of the local law. At any rate, a cop or judge would have to be a complete "Ito" (after the infamous O.J. judge) to fine you while wearing a racing safety harness. Being that so many in law enforcement are idiots I guess you are correct, a ticket is a possibility.

Love my Schroth belts!!!! Not a fan of Team tech either. Many like them though

The fifth point is useless unless it is positioned directly under the family jewels which requires the seat bottom to be cut for the belt to come up through. I have factory five points so I'm not about to change. If I were in the market, I would go for the Team Tech six points which offer a much higher degree of restraint and most say are the best.

The submarine belts function is to hold the lap belt in pace(under the curve in the hip bone) to prevent the body from slipping under the lap belt. The lap belt is not a belly belt and the submarine belts function is not to castrate. That is why GT2 Porsche race cars use lap straps 2 1/2", it fits in the curve of the hip. The 3" lap belts are more belly belts and provide less protection from a severe crash. The submarine function could be better if it did not rap around the seat cushion.

The center belt (submarine belt ) function is not to hold you by the family jewels.

According to the California Highway Patrol (I asked) a racing harness is an acceptable alternative to factory belts.

Something to keep in mind while shopping is the long term cost. Event organizers typically require belts no more than 2 years old. Deist is the only manufacturer I've found who will inspect and reweb your existing hardware. Everyone else makes you buy brand new belts and hardware.

[Janni]

Teamtech will inspect and reweb your belts, as shown right on their website. We have had this done.

Gerald - the poser in you should go with the Snake-Oly belts as they have the Viper Logo center lock. That's what I have.

Interesting to observe the buying decision when it comes to safety equipment.

I try to but the best!
