These are brand new FIA approved harnesses with 2024 homologation, and are labelled accordingly.
Fully FIA Approved for track use. FIA approval is for 5 years from the end of the year purchased. For example, if purchased on 1st Feb they would be approved for 11 months of the current year plus a further 5 years.
A HANS/FHR Only, 6 point FIA approved 8854/98 Quick Adjuster harness from TRS, specifically designed for Caterhams. With shorter shoulder straps, these are ideal for racing in your Caterham 7.
As standard they feature shoulder straps sewn to the correct length, to avoid unnecessary adjusters and fabric in a tight cockpit, and lap straps which adjust by pulling down to tighten.
These Caterham specific harnesses have shoulder straps which measure 50cm from the adjuster to the fixing point. This version is for drivers who prefer to use 50mm (2") webbing where it passes over the HANS/FHR device.
TRS's new 50mm "quick adjuster" features a space saving integrated tongue. This ensures the adjuster sits directly and comfortably up on the driver's lap. The new "quick" adjuster guarantees users an even faster driver change, even compared to a normal TRS alloy adjuster. The pull down to tighten "quick" adjuster is perfect for driver changes and small cockpits where there is not enough space for an adjuster by the side of the seat and the floor of the car. Supplied with grab loops.
TRS's lightweight 140 gram quick release buckle is of composite construction and is attached to the crutch strap on 5 and 6 point harnesses. Innovative features such as a securing tab for intercom cables on the shoulder strap and thumb loops on lower shoulder straps were all pioneered by TRS and are standard on all of their competition harnesses.
The key features of this harness are shown below and above is a detailed description. If you are not sure this harness is the correct one for your requirements, click HERE to view the full range of Caterham Harnesses.

Please note that the rotary buckle is always fixed to the crutch straps as standard, in line with current FIA regulations. If you need the buckle to be attached to one of the lap straps instead then we can do this, although the harness will then be supplied with non-compliance labels i.e. it will no longer be FIA approved. Contact us if you have specific requirements.
Please note many Caterham owners use these on the road but they are only approved for Track Day use.
Fixing Points
This harness is supplied with anchor plates and 7/16" UNF bolts. The anchor plates have a 15mm hole and are supplied with a top hat spacer that reduces the hole size to the correct diameter for the 7/16" bolts, and allows the anchor plates to rotate slightly when in position.
Shoulder Straps
- Shoulder straps are approximately 50cm from the adjuster to the fixing point
- The adjustment range of the lower shoulder strap is between 10cm and 40cm
- The fixings at the end of the shoulder straps are sewn on
Options
Webbing Colour
TRS Harnesses are available in 9 different webbing colours: Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, Green, Grey/Silver, Orange, Pink, and Miami Blue.
Red, Blue, and Black harnesses are the most common colours, so harnesses in those colours are usually in stock, if you need your harnesses in a hurry.
Extras
TRS Shoulder Pads
TRS Webbing Cutter
With these harnesses we offer some optional extras for your comfort and safety, which you can select using the dropdown boxes above.
A pair of TRS Shoulder Pads are available in three colours: black, red, and blue. They simply attach with velcro around the shoulder strap area of the harness, for added comfort for the wearer. They will be provided in the appropriate size for the harness you choose.
Also available is a TRS Webbing Cutter, for use in case of emergencies. This is a knife for a driver, passenger or marshal to cut through harnesses and webbing in the event of an accident, to quickly release the wearer and avoid being trapped in the car. The cutter meets the MSA Blue Book requirement which states "Belt cutter(s) must be carried on board at all times", so it's a must-have when racing.
