BIG man looking for a harness that will fit
Ok, So I managed to snag a great deal today on a Brey Krause Harness Bar in the 4-sale section. So now i need to get some harnesses. As some that have met me in person (varkswo, racerjon1, Zo6kool) know, I am a BIG guy. The OEM drivers side belt barely fits me and I need a extender to fit the passenger side belt. So I don't want to order a set of harnesses and discover they will not fit. So I am hoping some of you can point me to a harness that seems to have extra long belts. Thanks

simpson will cut any length harnesses you want.
mine were too short, they took them back, and sent me longer ones.
I absorbed the return shipping, they made me another set, no charge.

Try M&R in Vineland NJ. Just had a set installed by ECS. They may be able to custom make a set for you. http://www.mrproducts.com/

The problem I have run into is the harnesses are too long if you use the BK harness mounts. I have over a foot of lap belt that has to be stored on each side of the seat and I have a 42 inch waist.

I'm with you Hammer, I'm 6'4" & 360. I don't think anyone has mentioned TeamTech harnesses. I got mine through Gary @ Hardbar. I spoke to Kurt @ TeamTech directly and he told me all the measurements to take, I did so and he sent me a harness sized just right. The TeamTech harnesses are padded in all the right places and incredibly comfortable as well as a top notch piece. I believe they can be re-webbed as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend calling Hardbar to get started.

I have been offered on what seems a good deal on a 6-point cam lock Sabelt harness set. What is the opinion of you guys on these?

If you call RJS, they will make it for you that day or the next, and ship it directly, making it nearly as quick as ordering online. I don't know why that wouldn't qualify as "fast on the shelf".

Anybody have opinions on the SABELT brand of harnesses? I have a guy offering me a good deal and will even take them back if they don't fit.
