Default Decided on Hardbar harness bar - Now which belts? (C5Z)

OK guys, which harnesses are recommended and what else am I going to need to complete the install?

Go.

Hardbar Harness Bar, Hardbar Lap Belt Bar, TeamTech JetPilot 6-pt Harness. Then if you want race seats, um, the Hardbar Seat Mounts? ;-)

Pfadt also has a seat mount kit, and I think they offer the B-K lap belt mounts...

TeamTech via Hardbar. It's what I've got and no doubt the best on the market.

TeamTech. I don't think you can do better.

When I wrecked my car I had the TeamTech Jetpilot, Hardbar harness bar and Sparco Evo on Hardbar rails. It was a bad wreck, head-on into pit wall at a pretty high speed. All the safety gear performed flawlessly and I was completely uninjured. The next day I was a little sore but wasn't even bruised due to the padding in the harness . As soon as I buy another Vette Hardbar and TeamTech will be at the top of my track equipment list.
Also, besides building and selling top-quality equipment, I've always found Gary a great guy to do business with.

Whatever belt system you buy, consider having the camlock installed on the subbelt(s). It's one of the handiest set ups I've seen used.

Thanks.
I'm running the rampac 6 point with the energy pads and sternum strap, tube mount shoulder straps and bolt in lap and sub belts.


The link for the harness is:

I'm also running the Tucker Helmet Harness and have been very happy with it as it is not dependant on the shoulder belts like the HANS (I run stock seats with no pass throughs):

I'll vote teamtech also.

BTW - I have a hardbar lapbelt bar sitting on a shelf - only used a few times for the passenger side. PM me if you're interested.
