FAQs

Is this harness FIA approved?

No, this Sparco Sport H-5 harness is not FIA approved. It is designed for racing disciplines like Autograss, off-road, or oval racing where an FIA approved belt is not required.

What does SFI Approved mean in this context?

The harness features SFI labels and is manufactured to specifications required for the U.S. market. However, they are not officially listed as SFI-approved for certain applications due to specific event regulations (e.g., UK National Autograss). The validity dates on SFI labels may vary.

Can I wrap the shoulder straps around a roll bar?

Yes, the clip-in fittings on the shoulder straps can be removed to allow the straps to be wrapped around a roll bar or harness bar.

How do I clean the harness?

Clean the harness straps using a mild soap and water solution. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct heat sources.

What is the purpose of the single crutch strap?

The single 2-inch wide crutch strap is designed to prevent submarining, which is the tendency for a driver to slide forward under their lap belt during heavy braking or impact.

Are the shoulder and lap straps the same width?

No, the shoulder and lap straps are 3 inches wide, while the single crutch strap is 2 inches wide.

Why is this harness competitively priced?

The competitive pricing is reflected in the fact that it is not FIA approved and may have varying validity dates on its SFI labels, as it adheres to specifications for the U.S. market rather than having universal international approval.

Troubleshooting

Harness difficult to tighten

Ensure the adjuster tabs are correctly aligned and the webbing is not twisted. Check for any obstructions in the adjuster mechanism.

Release mechanism feels stiff

Gently clean the release mechanism with a soft brush to remove any dust or debris. A small amount of approved lubricant might help, but test function carefully afterward.

Clip-in fittings won't engage securely

Inspect the clip and the corresponding mounting point for damage or debris. Ensure they are properly aligned before attempting to connect.

Straps feel uncomfortable or dig in

Readjust the straps to ensure they are sitting correctly on your shoulders and hips. Verify that the harness is not overtightened.
