Bjoern,
I'm contacting the folks at SSCC to verify your interpretation. I don't
believe SFI is required for the lower speed classes, but I do believe
they adhere to some kind of expiration scheme, like perhaps three
years. Whether it's the expiration on the harness or something sooner I
don't recall. I should have a response in the next day or two. Next to
tires, harness/belts are the next biggest thing that keep folks from
passing tech. I personally want to make sure we have the right
information for you, it's the least I can do for a TPR member at large
overseas. :)
