I recently aquired 2, in date, 6Pt harnesses but the shoulder straps are far too long.
This means that there is an excess of webbing beyond the grip clamp/clasp.
Can I trim these myself (melting the ends) without too much fuss?
I don't really want to send them back to sabelt.

if tyour just trimming off excess webbing, i don't see a problem.

but if you need it restiching then thats a job for sabelt.

No stitching required.

If your just chopping off the end of the webbing.... just go for it... heat the end to seal it... Or fold it over and stich it...


I have shortened seatbels before by unpicking and then stiching back together.... using proper tough nylon thread and going over it several times...... Cant see any issues with that!

I use a local truck tarpaulin manufacturer to do this kind of thing as their machines will sew through just about anything, even the teeth on industrial plastic zippers. Little jobs cost only a few quid, they've even made hoods and covers for my cars.

I,ve just got an email from sabelt and they said ok to do it. They also recommended using a hot knife to cut and seal at the same time

I rolled mine up and secured with a tie wrap.

Did that on the bits down the front as well to stop them slapping off me neck
