Installation Instructions for 5 point racing seat belts


Peak safety restraint systems are manufactured to stringent requirements and meet or exceed SFI 16.1 specifications.  It is important to install your restraint system in the manner it was designed to maintain its integrity.  All components of the seat belt (shoulders, lap, and anti sub belts) are designed to work together for maximum security and safety.  Serious injury can occur if components are removed or omitted.

Belts should be replaced if involved in an accident, if there is any sign of wear or abuse, or after two years of use.  Take care not expose belts to solvents, gasoline, or excessive heat. For the maximum life of your belt, limit exposure to sunlight and rain. The assembly should be installed so that the straps do not rub against any surface that can cause the webbing to fray.

Never compromise the strength and integrity of the hardware by bending, welding, drilling, or modifying in any way. NEVER CUT, ALTER, OR INSERT ANYTHING THROUGH WEBBING. 

Racing seatbelts are intended for off road use only.  They are not D.O.T. approved and should not be used for street use.

Warning

The following instructions are a guideline only. Please follow the installation requirements of the sanctioning body you are affiliated with or consult a professional regarding your particular application.

Motorsports are dangerous. Belts are sold without warranty, expressed or implied. No warranty or representation is made as to Peak Racing Equipment's products ability to protect the user from any injury or death. The user assumes that risk. Racing Seat belts are intended for off road use only, installed in the recommended manner. Peak Racing Equipment does not advise the use of its products for street use.


Installation of the restraint means achieving  the correct fit to the driver. Belts should be as short as possible to reduce stretching for better control of occupant movement.

DO NOT INSERT BOLTS THROUGH BELT WEBBING TO MOUNT.

  • Seat belts should be anchored apart, the width of the driver, at a 45 degree angle to the floor of the car.
  • Shoulder straps should be anchored at a point between 1 to 4 inches below shoulder. 5 degrees below to 30 degrees above shoulder is acceptable.
  • Anti-submarine belt should be anchored behind chest line. It is not recommended to omit anti-submarine belt.
  • Seat belt anchor should be positioned 2 1/2" forward of the driver's extended back line.
