[Fot] Seat belts

[ralph hansen]

 MCSCC (Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs) effective this year is SFI belts 2 yrs from date of manufacture, FIA is five years, both rounded to 12/31/?? so belts are not an issue middle of the year - newer belts with expiration dates will also expire on 12/31/?? of the listed expiration year - belts are cheap, they do lose effectiveness as they age, even if not exposed to direct sunlight

 If your belts are certified by SFI they will be good for 2 years from the date of manufacture. If they carry an FIA certification, they will be accepted for 5 years from the date of manufacture. SVRA enforces the dates to the month. SCCA will cut you some slack and let you go to the end of the calendar year in which they expire.Phil Gott

Hello FOT-  Does anyone know how long seat belts are good for?  I have read here on FOT that SVRA will be checking belts at the Kastner Cup.  I just got new belts from Summit Racing, and the tag says they expire June 2022.  I thought that belts were good for 5 years?   Could these belts be "old"(as in NOS) or are they only good for 2 years?  My present belts are over 5 years old.  Yikes!-- Jay
