6-point harness advise please

Postby Ianc2 on Mon Nov 10, 2014 1:15 pm

With hindsight , I should have asked around during our quick visit on Sunday .

I'm looking to get harnesses installed in my car (gt2 seats and Gmg bolt-in rear)
So looking on schroth website at the porsche gt3 , profi2 , and hybrid2 .
From what I gather the gt3 are cheaper from Porzche and bolt strait in using factory seatbelt points but this means they're fixed permanent , whereas the standard profi2 can be ordered with clip-in attachments to take out when I'm driving on the street .
I've read one report online that the buckle will not fit through the sub-hole in the gt2 seat , and So the hybrid will be better as the buckle is on the shoulder belt and will fit through the hole in the seat back .

Can anyone offer advice on this ?

One last thing .... Should I order the Hans version (future-proofing) ?
Or will the 2" shoulder straps be too uncomfortable whilst ax-ing ?

After looking on the sabelt website , it's not recommended to wear a Hans 2" shoulder without a HANS device , so that question doesn't need answering anymore as I'm going to just get 3" .

But I'm now looking at g-force harnesses .
Debbie is buying me harnesses for Christmas , so I've found her a great deal on them . :D
They're half the price of the cheapest schroth (which surprisingly was at my local porsche dealerships for $380) or I can get last years stock for less than $100 each .
The 6-point version of these http://www.gforce.com/products/harness/7500.php
This means scca fia cert will run out in 2018 . I can live with that !!!

So my new question is ...
Is anybody running the g-force 6-point , and how big is the cam buckle and is it attached to the subs or waist belts ?
(I'm going to take a seat apart today to see just how much room I have to remove easily for street use)

You might also look at Crow belts

They are local in Anaheim and offer rewebbing and multiple options for their belts for a good proce.

Thanks Greg .
But I already got excited at my bargain hunting and texted Debbie to say it's only going to cost her 200 for a pair :banghead:
