5-Point Latch & Link

All Safe-Quip Harness Systems are constructed using drop-forged steel hardware for ultimate strength and reduced weight. All hardware is cadmium plated for added protection. We use only 3" premium nylon webbing and all belts are box-x pattern sewn to ensure uniform stitch length and strength. Belts and hardware are routinely tested to verify compliance with SFI 16.1 standards.

All of our harness sets feature a latch & link system to retain the belts. The latch & link system is distinguished by a pivoting "hammer," called a Duckbill, which locks all of the belts into place by snapping down into a detent. Both shoulder belts and the sub belt are hooked over the link; the link is inserted into the latch; the Duckbill is then brought down into and over the link, securely holding all of the pieces in place.

Safe-Quip Harness Systems come as a "pull down" design. This means that the lap belts must be pulled down and away from the center latch & link mechanism to tighten. If you race a formula car or have a crew member tighten your belts from outside the car, you may want to use "pull up" lap belts. These are available by contacting our Custom Shop as are Kamlocks, Euros, and head restraint compatible shoulder belts.
