<div>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.
