Looking for knowledge and advice.
Finally getting all the big-boy safety equipment in the car. Roll bar is done, HANS ordered, next is seat and harnesses. I live close to a Sparco store and was planning to get a seat and harnesses from them. Granted, I could ask them for all this info but I wanted to have some knowledge going into this.
I did some research on belts and learned about pull-up vs pull-down belts and that 2" belts are better for a HANS but I still have some questions.
1. Sparco has 3" / 2" hybrid belts....is this better than a 2" only belt? I don't see any gain from a 3"
2. Sparco has aluminum or steel latches. Obviously the aluminum would be lighter weight but as it's such a small piece, does the weight difference even matter / noticeable?
3. Sparco also lists a "PRIME H-7" option. Steel, pull-up, but I don't see anything special about it. Am I missing something? Maybe it attaches in a different way?
If there is a better brand than Sparco belts, I'm open to that as well. Thanks in advance
