HANS, seats and belts, scrutineering 2018 advice

[ceejay]

A bit of advice needed from the faithful as hopefully my sabbatical comes to an end and I’m rusty.Going to autosport and need a new helmet and HANS, had a bell sport3 which I liked but it’s now out of date. Looking at sport5 with HANS but open to suggestions as I’ve never used them before. Do you need specific belts? Mine are 3’’ lap and shoulder dated to 2018 but I see there are HANS specific ones now. Do I need these too?

Overalls are current spec and in good condition I assume they are not lifed, can’t find anything in blue book.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks for input guys. I can’t see snell 2000 in blue book 2017, I think an upgrade is in order as safety kit has moved on a lot since I bought mine in 2004!

Daz, must admit a bit concerned about Hans and vision restriction, t350 is also very small and difficult to exit even with the stuff I currently have. Will look at the Simpson.

Plan is to run t350 in dtec if all goes to plan. Cylinder head is with Dom to be fixed after engine ingested a butterfly screw at Anglesey 3 years ago. Joo is sorting suspension. Box back together. Not too far away.

My seat was manufactured in 2006, should I look at changing that too?

Good shout daz, went for Simpson hybrid and new lid.
