I'm looking for a used racing helmet and HANS. I'm looking for a Bell or Simpson and must have a HANS clips for it. I already look on racing junk and didn't find anything.

unless you're just using it for display purposes, I would encourage you to purchase a helmet brand new that is propertly FITTED for you as a driver (same goes for HANS).
You can't put a price on safety, but used helmets, seatbelts, seats, HANS, etc.. is not where you should be trying to save $$$. Talk to other drivers, teams, officials, even the Helmet companies. I would almost bet they'd rather make less $$ in profit on a new helmet than have you take a chance of getting hurt of killed due to an impoperly fitting used one.
I say this as a FAN and relative of racers (they don't like spending the $$ on new firesuits, helmets, etc. either, but they know in the grand scheme of things is your life worth the $300 you saved??)

Safety is not a place to look for cheap as Vande said. Get a new helmet fitted and they're are a few different sized and different degree of hans depending on your build that is important for it to work to its full capability, the driver I help will not even wear a helmet after any hard crash and even replaces seatbelts and throws old ones away, I'm sure many drivers do this also as one weakend belt or a weak point in the helmet from a previous crash could be the end in the next crash. This sport is dangerous enough as it is, please do not cut corners on safety!

The first 5 min. in a ER will cost alot more than a new helmet and hans. We change belts after any semi hard crash, and every 2 years. You have no idea on a helmets use before you got it. We have a $800 dollar helmet that was used twice. It has a small looking spot on shell from hiting roll cage and knocking out driver. On seat belts I have found Simpson silver to be very good. Some belts are hard to tighten for some reason. Tighten your lap belt so tight that it is a little uncomfortable at first. If you can not do it have a pitman use a hook to pull it tight.
