We work with brands such as OMP, Sparco, Sabelt, Momo, QSP, Beltenick and RRS. If you are not sure which steering wheel hub fits your car or which homologation your rules require, contact us before you buy.
Bucket seats, harnesses and extinguisher systems carry an FIA label showing the standard and validity. These are the most common:
Bucket seat
FIA 8855-1999
5 years from the date of manufacture. Some federations allow an extension.
Bucket seat
FIA 8862-2009 · 8855-2021
10-year validity.
Harness
FIA 8853
The validity date is printed on the label of each strap.
Extinguisher system
FIA 8865-2015
Plumbed-in systems with nozzles to the cockpit and engine.
Tip
Before buying a bucket seat, check that your car accepts its seat mounts, and for the steering wheel look for the right hub for your model. For more parts, browse all our competition accessories. Finance your purchase over 18 months.
What is mandatory depends on each event, so always check the technical regulations of your championship.
How long does a bucket seat homologation last?
It depends on the standard. FIA 8855-1999 seats are valid for 5 years from manufacture (some federations allow an extension), while FIA 8862-2009 and 8855-2021 seats have a 10-year validity. The date is on the seat's FIA label.
Do harnesses expire?
Yes. Each harness strap has its own FIA label with the validity date. Check it before each season and replace the harness if it has expired, is frayed or has taken a hard impact.
What is a steering wheel hub and how do I choose mine?
The hub connects the sport steering wheel to your car's steering column and is specific to each make and model. We stock more than 1,500 steering wheel hubs. If you cannot find yours, send us the make, model and year.
Handheld extinguisher or extinguisher system?
A handheld extinguisher is mounted in the cockpit within the driver's reach. An extinguisher system is fixed and has nozzles to the cockpit and engine; homologated systems follow the FIA 8865-2015 standard. Your event regulations decide which one you need.
Can you advise me before I buy?
Yes. We can help you choose a seat and mounts, the hub for your car or the harness your championship requires. Contact us and, if you need to, finance your purchase over 18 months.
