Thought this would be useful to post up as a few have expressed interest in upgrading their seats, and also tracking their cars. We are no strangers these days to fake parts, but it does serve as a decent reminder to be wary of where you source parts.

Potentially deadly counterfeit motor racing harnesses have been uncovered by Carmarthenshire Trading Standards.

The counterfeit harnesses bearing the Sabelt, Sparco and Takata brand names, have been sold on eBay and Facebook by a Carmarthenshire trader, amongst a range of counterfeit car accessories and clothing.

The trader at the centre of the investigation is not currently being identified pending possible prosecution, but the trading standards team are warning people about the fakes to prevent anyone being injured, or even killed, by using the harnesses unaware that they are dangerous.
