I noticed Tony Bruce Jrs car had steel arms on the rear. Ricky Logan has a ratcheting lap belt. Who sells this stuff.
Thanks,

Don't know, but that ratchetting lap belt killed Earnhardt Sr. IMHO.

I run steel rear arms made by robinson race products which can be bought from RRP or Kreitz. I also switched to the ratchet belts this year and got them from Kears. I wouldnt ever switch back to the aluminum arms(had to many break and strip out). As far as the belts go they are made by hooker harness and cost about $400 but well worth the money. Ive tried all the belts and they are the best. You either have to weld in another bar to bolt the belts to or for $50 kears sells a clamp which is what i use.

Kreitz Oval Track Parts-Steel Arms (made by a guy in PA)
Kaeding Performance-Belts
I sure there are other suppliers, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind.

butlerbuilt endorses a ratchiting belt set (narrow fit for hans, defender , n such, also, 2 "shoulders? I think? ) I believe they were hooker harnesses? thier "Greenhouse" type simulator gives you good ideas on what is new and a comfortable fit, or customizeation for your driver.

I wasn't saying ratchetting harnesses are universally unsafe. Dale Sr.'s non-Simpson endorsed version, however, was at minimum, ill-concieved, and undoubtedly contributed to the fateful conclusion on that day.

Dale Earnhardt Sr. did not use ratchet belts. The lap belt "dumped" in the adjuster because they were mounted incorrectly. ButlerBuilt is the distributor for Hooker Custom Harness
