Re: seat belt expiration
You are asking for a sign of intelligence and fairness from the same people who think that electrons flow from the cathode to the anode. Putting the cut off switch on the + side is even dumber than costing racers money and effort that is not needed. If you go 11.50 you can use ratty 50 year old stock belts, but at 11.49 you need to spend the money every 2 years.

Re: seat belt expiration
I have a street car that may go "too quick" next time I try it. It's just a toy that I very rarely take to the track.
I don't mind adding a roll bar (too much), but that seat belt hassle is something I don't want. I certainly don't mind the added safety of a harness, but it ain't gonna be bad in 2 years. Last edited by Dave Gantz; 06-09-2016 at 11:43 AM. Reason: Clarification |

Re: seat belt expiration
You need to put it in perspective. It makes a lot more sense than a trans shield going bad in 5 years!

Re: seat belt expiration
actually, what I was asking about was whether current belts expire at the beginning or end of a month. I moved the thread over to the tech section.
I do agree with the 5 years especially if your car doesn't sit out in the sun all the time.

Re: seat belt expiration
You can thank the people at the SFI, who used test results from 1966, to set the replacement date at 2 year intervals.
SFI Presentation: http://www.sfifoundation.com/wp-cont...%2012-2014.pdf The Europeans however, must not being getting payoffs from the seat belt manufacturers, because their test results show a much different result when using the exact same seat belt material. Either that or DuPont only sends the "good stuff" to Europe and the US only gets what fell off the truck. European Test Report: https://www.easa.europa.eu/system/fi...nal_5-2010.pdf |
