RaceQuip FIA 6-Point CAMLOCK Harness – Pull-Down Lap | FHR | Black | 854004RQP
⚠️ Safety-critical equipment — read all warnings before purchasing and installing. This harness is certified to FIA 8853-2016 standard. FIA harnesses have a 5-year service life from the date of manufacture — confirm the manufacture date on the harness label before use and replace before expiry regardless of condition. Must be installed with a compatible FIA-rated race seat using the seat’s harness pass-through slots. FHR (Front Head Restraint / HANS device) use is strongly recommended and may be mandatory for your sanctioning body. Not a replacement for factory seatbelts on road-registered vehicles — for motorsport and track use only.
RaceQuip 854004RQP FIA 8853-2016 certified 6-point CAMLOCK racing harness in black. Pull-down lap configuration, FHR (HANS device) compatible, lightweight magnesium alloy dual-direction cam buckle, black oxide coated drop-forged steel hardware. 7.7 lbs. Ships fast across Canada and the US.
FIA 8853-2016 Certification
The RaceQuip 854004RQP is certified to the FIA 8853-2016 harness standard — one of the two primary international racing harness standards (the other being SFI 16.1/16.5). FIA 8853-2016 certification allows this harness to be used in FIA-sanctioned events and is accepted by many national motorsport organisations and track day operators that require a dated, certified harness. Key FIA certification requirements to know:
- 5-year service life: FIA certified harnesses must be retired 5 years from their manufacture date, not their installation date. The manufacture date is printed on the harness label. Purchase new harnesses and verify the manufacture date — a harness manufactured 2–3 years before purchase has a correspondingly shorter usable service life.
- Sanctioning body acceptance: Confirm that FIA 8853-2016 certification is accepted by your specific sanctioning body or event organiser before purchasing. Some series require SFI certification instead.
CAMLOCK Buckle — Magnesium Alloy, Dual Direction
The central CAMLOCK buckle is constructed from lightweight magnesium alloy with a dual-direction cam mechanism. The engagement cone allows the belt ends to snap into the cam at angles of up to 21 degrees left/right and 11 degrees up/down, simplifying buckle engagement while seated in a race seat. To release in an emergency, the buckle is turned and lifted — releasing all belt attachment points simultaneously. Hardware throughout is black oxide coated drop-forged steel for corrosion resistance and long service life.
6-Point Configuration — Belt Dimensions
The six points are: two lap belts, two shoulder belts, and a dual-leg crotch/anti-submarine strap (moustache bar design). Key dimensions:
- Lap belts: 3-inch wide, pull-down configuration, adjustable 22–60 inches. Sewn ends with snap hooks and eyebolts for mounting.
- Shoulder belts: 3-inch wide, adjustable 20–68 inches.
- Crotch strap: Dual 2-inch wide moustache bar design, adjustable to 24 inches.
Pull-down lap configuration: To tighten, pull the lap belt straps downward and away from the cam buckle. This is the standard CAMLOCK tightening direction — pulling the belt toward you and down cinches the lap belt securely.
FHR / HANS Device Compatibility
The 854004RQP is designed for use with a Front Head Restraint (FHR) device, commonly known as a HANS device. FHR devices attach to the helmet and connect to the shoulder belts via tethers, limiting head and neck forward movement in a frontal impact. FHR use is strongly recommended at all circuit events and is mandatory in many sanctioning bodies for FIA-certified harness classes. Confirm your helmet is FHR-compatible (HNR clip provisions) when pairing with this harness.
Installation Requirements
This harness must be installed with a compatible FIA-rated race seat that has the correct harness slot openings for 3-inch shoulder belts and 3-inch lap belts. Mount points must be solid, rated, and correctly positioned — incorrect harness mounting geometry can reduce harness effectiveness in a crash. Professional installation or installation per the harness manufacturer’s instructions is required. Do not modify the harness webbing, buckle, or hardware.
For motorsport and track use only — not for road use. FIA 8853-2016 certified — 5-year life from manufacture date. Check label before use. Replace all harnesses as a complete set — never mix certified and non-certified components. FHR/HANS device strongly recommended.
