Go to Schroth seat belts website ---totally explains in detail the difference between FIA and SFI certified belts---the different SFI ratings (16.1-16.5-16.6)for each belt and the problems with material degradation by the elements (water/sunlight/dirt/oil) and that by 30 months after the manufacture the material in the belt has lost 75% of its ability to do the job thus the 24 month /2 year time line that should be followed--bottom line is the "may look good" but SFI testing standards has proven that the belt material can no longer meet the testing guidelines--depending on the manufacturer of the "belt" and the SFI rating it is possible the belt may be re-webbed while in others the entire belt as well as all hardware must be replaced completely --NO RE WEBBING -- FED 387
