If SABELT reminds me FERRARI, what does remind me PORSCHE???

Guys, what is the most popular, and by that i believe the most correct, security harness that fits Porsche, specially the racers of 60's and 70's?

I'm in the process of building one of the splendid Fisher resin 917 models--21 car, Le Mans 1971, Elford and Larrousse--and the tiny decals that go onto the seatbelts read "Britax."

Same Britax as the child car seat manufacturer?

I assume so, since they basically make "automotive safety equipment" such as child seats, though I don't know if they're still in the racing-harnesses business. As far as that goes, I think Schroth is the gold standard today, though what we're talking about here are vintage belts...

I also think Sabelt afterall.....even for Porsche. John Wyer's British-run operation changed a bunch of German stuff on his 917's...and maybe Britax was used. Clutches for sure went from Fichtel & Sachs to Borg&Beck.

When I think of Racecars I think of Willans. Plus I've seen a lot of Willans Harnesses in many 996/997 GT class 911's. They're all I buy since I'm a silly loyal fan boy lol Although I do like Sabelt a lot
