It begs the question of how much weight can actually be saved with a
"lightweight" belt/harness system, since they do not weigh all that much
anyway?
And why would you want to compromise a primary safety system?
Besides, I've never heard of a "lightweight" belt. I'd suggest 14.2D
primarily exists so that you can replace stock belts with an "alternate
restraint" that is usually a full-race harness or at least a full-race lap
belt. Not because it is lighter, because it is better (no inertia-reel crap
for one thing). 3.3.3F primarily says that if you do, it has to be done
right.
