Full details
The Bell FHR / HANS Helmet Posts are essential safety hardware designed for adult motorsport competitors who require a secure, FIA-compliant connection between their helmet and Frontal Head Restraint (FHR) device. These posts are ideal for racers using Bell helmets or any helmet equipped with standard M6 threaded receptacles, providing peace of mind through certified safety standards. While they offer universal compatibility with M6 systems, users must ensure their specific helmet model is compatible with threaded posts before installation to guarantee proper performance.

FAQs
Are these posts compatible with all HANS devices?
These posts are designed to interface with standard HANS/FHR tethers that utilize the FIA-approved post-clip system.
Do I need a special tool to install these?
A standard hex or screwdriver tool (depending on the specific post design) is typically all that is required for installation.
Can I use these on a non-Bell helmet?
Yes, as long as your helmet is equipped with factory M6 threaded receptacles, these posts will function correctly.
What does FIA 8858-2010 homologation mean?
It is an international safety standard for FHR anchor systems, certifying that the parts have been tested to withstand specific impact forces.
Are these legal for professional racing?
Yes, their FIA 8858-2010 homologation makes them compliant for most professional and amateur motorsport events that require FHR devices.
Troubleshooting
Post feels loose when threaded into the helmet
Verify that your helmet receptacle is a standard M6 size. If it is, re-thread the post carefully to ensure it is not cross-threaded.
HANS tether does not snap on securely
Check the tether attachment mechanism for debris and ensure the helmet post is fully seated and tightened into the shell.

Care Instructions
