Sabelt SFI16.1 Steel 5 Point Harness by Sabelt. Here is what it is and what to check before you order. A harness holds you in the seat so the seat can do its job. Four, five and six point layouts differ in how they control the lap belt and the sub strap, and competition regulations usually specify which you need.

Choosing the right harness
A harness holds you in the seat so the seat can do its job. Four, five and six point layouts differ in how they control the lap belt and the sub strap, and competition regulations usually specify which you need.
Shoulder straps want mounting behind the seat at roughly shoulder height, angled no more than the manufacturer allows. Mounting them too low or too high is the most common harness fitting mistake and it matters in a crash.
We have been supplying motorsport kit since 2003, so if you are unsure between two options, ask.

Sabelt SFI16.1 Steel 5 Point Harness questions
Is the Sabelt SFI16.1 Steel 5 Point Harness FIA approved?
Check the approval in the specification above. FIA harnesses carry an expiry date and scrutineers do check it, so buy with the remaining life in mind.
What do I mount the shoulder straps to?
A harness bar or a cage harness bar set at the right height. Mounting to the rear seat belt points or the floor behind the seat puts the strap angle badly wrong.
Four, five or six point?
Six point controls submarining best and is what most competition regulations now expect. Four point is simpler but allows more movement. Check your class regulations before choosing.
Can I fit a harness with the standard seat?
Only if the seat has proper harness slots. A harness pulling over the top of a standard seat back is not safe.
