FAQs
Are these anchors compatible with all Simpson head and neck restraints?
No, these anchors are specifically designed for Simpson Hybrid restraints fitted with M61 dual end tethers.
Can I use these anchors with a Snell SA2005 helmet?
No, these anchors are not compatible with earlier helmet safety standards such as Snell SA2005. They require helmets approved to Snell SA2010, Snell SA2015, or equivalent FIA standards.
What does 'FIA approved' mean for these anchors?
It means the anchors meet the specific requirements set by the FIA for use with particular head and neck restraint systems and helmet standards (FIA8858-2010, FIA8860-2010, FIA8859-2015).
Do I need to drill holes in my helmet?
Installation typically utilizes existing mounting points on the helmet designed for such hardware. Always refer to your helmet manufacturer's guidelines for mounting accessories.
How do I clean the quick-release anchors?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material or mechanism.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes quick-release helmet posts with pull tethers and bolts for securing to the helmet.
Troubleshooting
Anchors feel loose after installation
Re-check that all bolts are securely tightened according to your helmet manufacturer's specifications. Ensure you are using the correct bolts provided with the kit.
Quick-release mechanism is stiff or sticky
Gently clean the release mechanism with a damp cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly. Avoid excessive force. If the issue persists, contact Simpson technical support.
Tether does not easily connect or disconnect
Ensure that both the anchor post and the tether end are clean and free from debris. Verify correct alignment during connection. The mechanism should engage with a positive click.
