FAQs

What does FIA 8853-2016 approval mean?

FIA 8853-2016 is a safety standard for motorsport harnesses. This harness is approved to this standard when used exclusively with an FHR/HANS device, indicating it meets stringent safety requirements for crash protection.

Can I use this harness without an FHR/HANS device?

While the harness will physically function, it is not approved to the FIA 8853-2016 standard without an FHR/HANS device. For maximum safety and compliance, use with an FHR system is mandatory for this approval.

How often should I replace my racing harness?

It is generally recommended to replace racing harnesses every 2-5 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any significant impact or if the webbing shows signs of wear, fraying, or UV damage. Always check the manufacturer's specific recommendations and race series regulations.

Are the snap hook fixings universal?

Snap hook fixings are designed to attach to standard harness eye bolts or suitable mounting brackets. Ensure your vehicle is equipped with compatible mounting points, which are typically reinforced and threaded.

Can I adjust the harness myself?

Yes, the pull-up adjusters on the lap belts and easy-find loops on shoulder/lap belts are designed for user adjustment. However, initial installation and setup should ideally be performed or verified by a professional to ensure correct routing and security.

What is the main difference between this and a standard 5-point harness?

The main difference is the 'FHR-Specific 6-Point Design' and '2-Inch FHR Specific Webbing'. This harness is optimized for use with Frontal Head Restraint systems, providing superior safety by managing forces differently during impacts compared to standard harnesses.

Troubleshooting

Harness is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the pull-up adjusters on the lap belts are clean and free of debris. Check that the webbing is not twisted. Use the easy-find loops for a better grip, especially with gloves.

Buckle is stiff or won't engage.

Inspect the buckle for dirt or damage. Clean it gently with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Ensure the male end is properly aligned before attempting to engage.

Webbing appears worn or frayed.

Immediately discontinue use and replace the harness. Inspect all mounting points for sharp edges that might cause wear.

Harness does not feel secure after tightening.

Re-check the installation and ensure all mounting points are secure. Verify that the lap belts are low across the pelvis and the shoulder belts are properly routed for FHR compatibility. Ensure adjusters are fully tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This harness requires professional installation to ensure it is correctly fitted to your vehicle's chassis and meets all safety regulations. The snap hook fixings connect to compatible anchor points. The lap belts feature pull-up adjusters that should be tightened firmly, and the shoulder belts should be routed appropriately for use with an FHR device. Ensure all mounting points are secure and meet FIA standards.

Compatibility: This harness is specifically designed for use with an FHR (Frontal Head Restraint) or HANS device to achieve its FIA 8853-2016 approval. The 2-inch webbing is optimized for FHR systems. It is ideal for saloon or GT race cars. Always verify that your vehicle's mounting points are suitable and properly reinforced.

Care: Clean the harness using a mild soap and cool water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the webbing material. Allow the harness to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Regularly inspect the webbing, stitching, adjusters, and buckle for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace the harness immediately if any damage is found or if it has been involved in an impact.
