Try your local branch of Revolution Racegear. Ask for their RPM or the
Sabelt harnesses. These are the only two that can be legally fitted into an
Australian car as they have been passed by the Australian Standards. It's
always best to buy new belts, due to wear and tear, possible involvement in
an accident, and also UV exposure. Racing harnesses are not deisnged for
roadcars, and the fibres in the belts are more prone to being affected by UV
than normal car seatbelts. RPM Harnesses should only cost you about $130
each. A little more for the removable ones. Also note that in SOME
instances, a full harness can actually do you more harm than good.
