Harris Race Radios supplies racing harnesses for circuit racing, rally and other motorsport disciplines in New Zealand and Australia. The range includes harnesses listed to FIA 8853-2016 as well as other standards; check each product's actual label, configuration, expiry and current event rules. Our team includes active motorsport competitors and race engineers who can discuss practical fitment, but does not certify safety equipment on behalf of MotorSport NZ.
Before fitting your harness, read our Racing Harness Installation Guide for harness geometry, attachment options and maintenance, alongside the manufacturer's instructions for your specific harness.
Why 2-Inch Webbing?
2" webbing fits entirely within the iliac crest of the pelvis, where 3" webbing rides over the tips of the crest. This means the 2" belt can be worn up to 1–2" tighter, is more comfortable, and is less likely to cause submarining — where the body slides below the lap belt causing internal organ damage. All webbing (2" or 3") meets the same FIA load tests.
Harness Configurations
We stock 3, 4, 5, and 6-point harness configurations to suit different seat types and race disciplines including circuit, endurance, rally, and off-road. Available in 2" HANS-friendly and 3" webbing options.

Speedway Harnesses and Race Seats
Speedway normally uses a lever-latch type harness with a purpose-built race seat. Choose the harness, seat and any required head-and-neck restraint as a compatible setup, checking belt routing and mounting against the manufacturers' instructions and your exact grade requirements.
Preparing a Speedway car? Read our Speedway equipment and helmet standards guide for NZ and Australia to plan your harness alongside the helmet, restraint system, fire protection, officials' receiver and timing equipment. Check the harness configuration, buckle type, certification and expiry required for your exact grade, and follow the harness and restraint manufacturers' installation instructions.
