Don't like the idea of "submarining" in the harness if I am going to get one. I have a Brown Davis rollbar with the eyelet holes drilled in them.

the fia spec ones all expire after 5 years - this represents a hundred dollars a year on a top name harness. Im fond of the sabelt - if only coz of the latch mechanism. HTe sparcos and schroth have a different latch handle, its a matter of taste i think - although the larger handle on the sabelt could be easier to find - you can do it with a thumb etc whereas the sparco design needs a coupla fingers.
The monza 3" ones are markedly cheaper and apparently conform to the same standards - would I bet my life on it? since i have the sabelt ones, I guess not.
Klippan makes one as well - dont know $$$ but they make bucketloads of OEM seatbelts around the world, we just dont see the brand coz they dont appear in F1 or v8 supertaxis and no one reads the labels on the seatbelts in their camry...
Stay away from the SFI approved ones - these things expire after 2 years, and are generally only used by mud racers as the spoon design of the latch is the only thing that doesnt foul and jam when mud raced.
dont waste your time with a tiny 2" harness - nothing inspires confidence like being held by The Hand of God while scooting through corners. Even sticky tyres dont make you feel as safe
