get new ones.

Strange because they are marked "Good until the end of 2010", thought maybe it was 5 year after the initial year of manufacture.

IIRC that is only for FIA belts. The SFI belts I believe are only good for 3 years

[xr4racer]

If they are marked with the good until tag, the tag should say FIA on it. If they are
Gforce belts with the FIA tag they are good. What kind are they?

Non FIA belts are only good for 2 years, yours would be done at the end of 2007.

It sounds like you have belts that have both SFI and FIA tags on them - this is not uncommon. SFI tags have only the "made on" date. Belts that have only SFI tags expire in the second full year after that date. In your case, that means they would have expired at the end of 2007. However, FIA tagged belts are good until the date on the tag. When both tags are present, the FIA tag "wins".

Dave, I saw a request for a volunteer to conduct a belt study in FT. Can you explain more? What are you guys looking for, expectations, etc?
