Re-cert. is every 2 years. Contact the SFI at 858-451-8868 or Simpson at 800-654-7223. You can either send them in and get them done or buy a new set. I buy a new set every 2 years, and I just sold my old 5-point latch-style belts on Ebay for $25, and new ones are $69. Unless you have a cam-lock or expensive 5-point, I'd buy new.

Buy new, less stress about waiting for them to get back on time. Make sure you check tag, I've seen stuff come in that was over a year old, especially with colors.
We sell our old stuff to the roundy round & truck guys. Works out faster & cheaper.

Ron,

Safety costing all of $70 every 2 years is not a ripoff IMHO. I seriously doubt the IHRA and NHRA get kickbacks from SFI for re-certs or people buying new belts. Thinking about all the 30+ year old stock lap belts in the muscle cars of the 60s-70s running slower than 11.50s and not needing the 5-points is a little scary at times though.....

Is no one running camlocks? Last I looked they're like $200 each. If a recert wasn't too much that would be a better move for me.

Because we have to buy new every 2 years I get latch locks for $70 from Jegs or Summit.

All of the Ray Family Camaros have Stroud Racing kam-lock belts in them. I just had my set recert. They cost $180.00 new and it was $58.00 with shipping to recert.

I have RCI camlock belts. I send them in every 2 years and they come back brand new (excpet for the camlock part). Only costs like $50-60 and that includes return shipping. RCI and Stroud I know are good about re-certing their belts. BS that Simpson won't...thats why I won't buy their belts.

By both belts I'm guessing you're sending the passenger belt as well? Why pay to get it done?
