will they sell if you give them a European address, I am guessing not as I have tried a few in the states and they will not ship outside of the states due to market agents in different geographies. Well found though and worth a shot.

I'm off to america friday so I might pick one up over there if I can

I brought back a RAKE of clothes last xmas.. but I had worn them all at some stage while over there so they hadn't any labels on it..

Jim Downing and Bob Hubbard picked up an award at the Autosport Awards for the HANS. They said they are working more on the club competitor market, trying to making it more affordable. The HANS Device - Sport Series must be what they were on about.

Is the HANS Device - Sport Series available online yet?

Would you get away with wearing the hans device through customs and say you were in an accident and had to wear it as a neck support

MSI, need to be more specific, is it just Hans, that can be used or can you use Isaac's head and neck restraint system or Hutchens system or the SRS-1 or Whites system.

Is the american HANS FIA approved

jp ruth informs us that he is buyin a heap of HANS devices after x-mass to try an get some sorta deal on dem!!!

lads the hans system is a patent and is only made by 1 manufacturer, schroth or something like that

schroth...and stand 21

Exactly, is it just Hans that has to be used, if so that is restriction of trade to the other manufacturers and preventing competition or can we use other manufacturers head and Neck brace systems.

Is HANS not the trademark name for the technology.....

but there are a few different manufacturers..

I`m almost sure I`ve seen a Sparco HANS device also so I guess they are all using the same technology and just re-branding it...? (maybe I`m wrong..?)
Seems to me that theres 3 manufacturers + the F1 teams approved ..

Only the HANS has been approved on the FIA Driver Equipment (http://www.fia.com/sport/Regulations/driverequipregs.html) list, nothing else yet.

If anyone purchases let us know how you get on. Do you have to change harnesses & seats for the HANS?

There are three licencees to make the device and they pay a fee to Hans, either up front or per device they sell. Hans then control the sale price for each of the licencee's as per a recomended price list, with a little leaway given. Just knocked off a mail to the Competition Authority to see if the FIA and MSI are doing this legally.

The shoulder straps 3" will work, but if you can get 2" they sit even better as they are recommended, changing the seat if you can afford it ok but changing the position of the seat maybe fine.

did anyone buy this hans set up yet?

No doubt it because the boy cant/wont sell them on export and I got a snotty email back from him when I asked the question, basically saying he wont sell to other countries where a HANS agent is already present.

Would you get away with wearing the hans device through customs and say you were in an accident and had to wear it as a neck support

you'd look sum lookin eejit walkin trough an airport
with a hans device on you:laugh:
ya might as well put on the peltor to:laugh::laugh:

Try Ebay, most people will post to Europe.

Do they meet all FIA requirements?

Ya wouldnt be worth the hassle sending it back.

With regard to taxes, get the value declared less that €100 on the box including postage and signed as a gift and you will not get charged.

But if the item gets lost during shipping you will only be refunded the price on the box. I chanced it a few times and the item always arrived without paying any charges;)

there ar eight different sizes on hans also they state that a hans device should be fitted by a agent who has done a course ,check this out on stand 21 web site also straps ar not included on most devices only on pro device are they tryin to get us all divorced 1200 all in thats anew helmet not that theres anything wrong with the two i have only they dont have posts,what will i tell the wife.............................................. ............best take out life insurance an wear hans an helmet when i tell her

There is a company based in Shannon Ireland that distributes Stand 21 products and they can supply both the cheaper (1kg) and more expensive (500 grams) Hans devices. CCS RacenRally can be found at www.ccsracenrally.com (http://www.ccsracenrally.com)

I heard a rumor last week that someone is going renting these out for next year, the price i heard was 35 euro each or 60 euro for the crew... don't know how true this is or wat the whole insurance thingy wud hold out with it.

deres defo some lad rentin them, dunno how much tho!!!

The rumor is true...:D

Ha ha, after 622 posts of lads crying & whining on the thread 'Hans Device - The Truth' the solution comes out of no where!

Well done CCS Racenrally, hope business goes well for ye.

Great idea but no doubt people will still have something to whinge and moan about and more excuses!!!!!!!!! hire it 5 times a year for example, under €200. Bloody bargain

Whats the story with helmets?

Ya have to get ones with the hans posts on them!

Ya have to get ones with the hans posts on them!
I know, but are they renting helmets with posts on them as well??
A new helmet costs as much as a hans device!

I dont think there renting out the helmets!!

would be just as well to hire out helmets aswell as HANS devices imo

Ah sure you could wear 2 or 3 balaclavas!!:laugh:

I think hiring out helmets is a bad idea. Il def buy my own helmet which will more than likely be stilo but id gladly hire out a hans. I think hiring a helmet is just a tad un-hygienic??
