Racing Harnesses Australia

Aaron Harris is a MotorSport NZ Licence Examiner, Barcelona 24 Hour class winner, Bathurst competitor and race engineer. Rex Harris is a qualified Radio Telecommunications Engineer and NZ RSM/AU ACMA Approved Radio Certifier. Neither role certifies racing harnesses, helmets or FHR devices.

Harris Race Radios supplies Schroth and RSA racing harnesses from New Zealand to Australian motorsport competitors. Compare a harness by its actual homologation label, validity date, belt and buckle configuration, installation, seat and FHR compatibility, and the current requirements of your series.

Read the Racing Harness Installation Guide alongside the specific manufacturer's instructions.

What Harness Standard Do You Need in Australia?

Check the current Motorsport Australia Schedule J and your category or event rules before ordering. A harness listed with FIA 8853-2016 homologation is not automatically accepted for every discipline. Confirm the label on the supplied harness and its validity, installation and condition.

What Should You Check Before Scrutineering?

  • Actual FIA or other required label and expiry
  • Condition of belts, buckle and mounting hardware
  • Manufacturer-specified strap routing, angles and anchor points
  • Seat, helmet and FHR/HANS compatibility where required
  • The current series and event regulations

We can advise on product and installation considerations; the organisers and scrutineers determine event acceptance.

2-Inch vs 3-Inch Webbing

Approved belt widths and geometry depend on the specific harness, seat and FHR configuration. Follow the harness and restraint manufacturers' instructions and the event rules rather than assuming any single width automatically makes a harness suitable.

Schroth and RSA Harnesses

Compare the Schroth Profi, Enduro, Flex Belt and Clubman range with RSA options by homologation, buckle, adjustment and intended application. Check current availability and price in NZD at ordering; any AUD conversion depends on the exchange rate and payment method.

Why Buy from Harris Race Radios?

  • Practical advice informed by motorsport and communications experience

  • Help comparing the published standards and equipment specifications without claiming to certify them

Do You Need an FHR/HANS Device?

Check your specific Australian category and event rules. The head restraint, helmet, seat and harness must be suitable together and correctly installed. Browse our HANS & FHR devices or contact us about product fitment.
