I have an older EM replica. It has a go fast motor. If I ever atempt to track it or do anything that is sanctioned I know that I may have to go home just because I do not have a part or piece that doesn't say SFI and have a current date. The deal is when I install new belts again they will be certified. What I'm running now is an older set of Simpson lap belts with link- latch. The shoulder straps are made fron DOT belts and work and adjust just great. But they are not certified. Hell, if they were they now would still be too old. The latch link is a both hands sitting still deal. Everything goes together all at at the same time. If you drop an end and lean to reach to pick up the erant belt end, all previously stacked ends seam to come off the link and you start stacking everything over again. Next set of belts will be the cam type latch. The drivers will be five point, clip-in probably with a sternium protector. I have a cross brace at the lower part of the rollbar just above just the body, with two eyes for shoulder strap anchors. The passenger will also have cam latch but shoulder straps will both have to go through the metal grommet in the rear bulkhead to be anchored to the frame in the trunk replacinig a " Y "type shoulder setup. I've seen many allmost jumped on but never committed. But what I was getting at in the original post was, out of 910 listings found, most were variations on what would appeared to be the real deal but with no certifications on safety equipment. I considered them counterfits probably made in a third world country by people that have never seen a racecar. I'm looking for a deal but there is a line for me when it comes to safety equipment. I remember watching a movie last week where two young store clerks started a game. The objective of that game was to be the first one to find a piece of merchandise not made in China. There is probably a reason they were not certified.

True story. I worked with a guy that had surved in the US Airforce on Okenowa. He was friends with a local reserantuer. The resturant owner had asked my friend if he wanted something special, something he missed from home. My friend told this resturant owner that he'd really like a pizza. The Okennowian resturantuer didn't know from pizza, so he asked about pizza and my friend described a pizza and gave him a picture of a pizza from a magazine or such. Next time my friend went back to that resturant there was what looked like the pizza in the picture, but it didn't taste anything like a pizza. Please pardon the spelling if I made any mistakes.
