RJS 5-pt harness straps too long???
I was going to put the harness in the car but the shoulder straps are about a ft or so too long....... It's this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BOB-50502-18-23/
The car is just a 00' z28 with a 6-point bar, they are suppose to bolt to the crossbar.....what is going on???
The belts are about 39" total when adjust the smallest and 51" at the longest

Just cut them off and start over. It's a common deal to have to shorten a strap. Do one at a time so you have a guide of how to re-loop through the hardware. Also, melt the end off the strap so it doesn't frey, match, heat gun, small torch. Chuck

cut them off and start over.
The only reason you can't is the actual attaching eye-bracket. Just get rid of them and get the ones that you can shorten a belt with. They are cheap and can be bought seperately. Once you cut them to length and get the new eye-latches setup, go over the ends of the belt with a heat gun to melt the ends so they dont fray up.

So you guys are saying to cut it and add one of these to each side?

I think that'll work fine but I may just send them back and go with a different 5-point

Bingo. Loop through your bolt on mount then weave it through that piece to lock it down. Or turn them into a roll bar wrap around mount. I have extras of that bracket if you were close to Youngstown, Ohio.....would hook ya up. Or return em and get a new set, your choice.

I'm kinda screwed either way, I either send them back and pay for shipping and get a different brand or I pay for the slide adjusters. I tried calling RJS 3 times yesterday but no one answered

Didn't you get a paper with your RJS belts how to set them up? I think mine did, with those metal adj bars. Back when I had a Wolfe bolt in. It was wrap around shoulder straps and I read it how to set them up. But my fried that has a chassis shop did it with me in the car, and already knew how they go. Not saying Deitcoke has it wrong be there was some special way to loop then they wanted.

For future reference I talked to someone at RJS today and she said Part#50502-19-23 is what I needed, thanks everyone for the help and advice
