FAQs
What does FHR stand for?
FHR stands for Frontal Head Restraint. It is a safety device designed to help prevent severe head and neck injuries in motorsport.
Are these posts compatible with all helmets?
No, these posts are only compatible with helmets that have M6 female threaded receptacles and meet specific homologation standards (FIA 8860-2018, FIA 8858-2010, FIA 8859-2015, FIA 8860-2010, Snell SA2010, Snell SA2015, Snell SA2020).
What is the FIA 8858-2010 approval?
This is a safety standard for FHR devices and their anchor points, ensuring they meet rigorous testing requirements for motorsport use.
Can I install these myself?
Yes, installation is designed to be simple. They screw directly into the helmet's M6 female receptacles without the need for special tools.
How should I clean the posts?
Wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or strong cleaning agents.
What if my helmet doesn't have M6 receptacles?
These posts will not be compatible with your helmet. You would need to consider a helmet that is equipped with the necessary M6 female threaded receptacles.
Are these posts available in other colors?
This specific product is listed as blue. Please refer to other product listings for potential color variations.
Troubleshooting
Posts do not screw in easily
Ensure you are using a compatible helmet with M6 female receptacles and the correct thread pitch. Do not force the posts; check for obstructions or cross-threading.
FHR device connection feels loose
Verify that the FHR posts are fully tightened into the helmet. Check the FHR device itself for any wear or damage where it connects to the posts. Ensure all components are clean and free of debris.
Helmet homologation not listed
These posts are only approved for use with helmets that explicitly meet the listed homologation standards. Using them with incompatible helmets may void safety certifications and is not recommended.
