    The shoulder harness also doesn't wiggle itself loose mid way through a race either. Some of the cheaper belts would develop slack in the shoulders from constant stress so I had to pull on them to tighten them which was annoying. The schroth's don't do that. Schroth has a "clubman" belt which is only $200 and the best budget belt out there. If you don't want to spend a lot but want something durable, that's the belt for you. Problem is they are always on back order cause everyone wants them haha.

    I saw the clubman but it was as you said on back order. I have to get a new harness before MSRH.

    I'm taking my passenger seat out for the weekend and you can use the harness from there if you can't get one before Houston. G-Force 6000BK It's not the best harness by any means, but it's not expired and I won't be needing it for the weekend. It's a 5-point though so it may not work if you only have the cutouts for the 6-point.

    I'm with Al on not liking the pull ups. It may have just been that the adjusters were at an odd spot, but I found them more difficult to get tight than the pull downs. I can bring my expired pull-up ones to MSR-H to try before you buy.

    Thanks Gary but I can't race without a new harness. Jay is going to bite the bullet and get the nice Schroth Profi that is made for the Hans but I have to get the car back from the shop so I can see exactly what we have before we order.

    Thanks for the offer!

    I did a lot of research and bought safecraft
    I think its the best harness on the market with one exception
    Its SFI but you get one free re cert from safecraft
    The safecraft is the only harness with the adjuster that plugs directly into the center latch. It allows easy and fast adjustment with the best hardware I have ever seen on a harness.
    Scroth is good too, but you can
    still have issues with getting them tight and keeping them tight
