Default Which 5 pt harness should I buy and where can I buy it from?

I have no clue which one to get. I've seen some people mention they like Simpson. I wouldn't know which model # or where to get one, whether it was a good deal or a good part.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Simpson Racing harness. I personally prefer the cam lock style. I like mine in red to match the interior in my car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Simpson camlock belts on Summit Racings site.

I also got the simpson cam locks. The cam locks look nicer and are alot easier to get in and out of. There are some cheaper brands that make the same style...RJS and G-Force. Just make sure the dates are recent so you are legal.

Do it once and do it right... Simpson cam-locks are top notch.

What would we need? the 55" or the 62"?

What is the wrap around type?

I purchased the RJS and it has a chinsey paper decal on the front of the cam lock. I'm seriously thinking of exchanging it for the Simpson. Does the Simpson have a paper decal?

thanks
Tom

My simpsons have their tags sewed on and I don't think there's any decals on the cam itself. I think(but not positive) that mine are the 55". I just took them through my racing seat and wrapped them around the cross bar of my cage.

I have G-Forve Racing harnesses with the old style clasps. I got them at Jeg's or Summit.

Thanks for all the tips guys....I went all the way and got the simpson 5pt w/ cam lock setup, black 55". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ...the sales rep said it would be very easy to hide/disassemble for daily driving.

Not cheap <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

That's why I got the cam locks was for easy in/outs of daily driving. If I was only using them at the track I think I would have gotten the regular style to save some cash.
