carbon fiber hans device - Toyota Yaris Forums

turboyaris · 01-03-2009, 06:07 AM

hey guys, I know some of you guys do some racing, I'm not sure in what series or what not, but I have a carbon fiber hans device I'd like get rid of if anyone is in need. i'd like to get 650 shipped to you, or give me an offer, brand new they are around 1100 here are some pics.

For those that dont know what this is, it protects your neck a great deal. While racing even in small crashes you have a very good chance for breaking your neck. Example, remember when Dale Earnhardt died? It seemed like the crash wasnt that bad but his neck still broke. After the race it was said that if he was wearing a Hans device it would have saved his life.

Good luck with the sale. Stay safe people.

haha i figured if you didnt know what it was, you didnt really need to buy one haha

aaaaaaa so that's what a hans device is... saw many racing seats advertised as hans-compatible, I thought they were just designed for German drivers

All jokes aside, definitely something good to have if you are concerned about your safety on the racetrack.

Could you tell us what size and what recline degree it is? Also, are the helmet posts included?

turboyaris · 01-03-2009, 06:36 PM

It is a model 20, the most common kind, used in pretty much everything but sprint car and formula cars. I'm not sure on the size, I'm guessing its a medium, it fits me very comfortably and I have a 16" neck so its either medium or large. I can include the helmet posts if you want them. I'm sure you could call the company with the model number 1572 and they could tell you for sure. I have included a picture to give you an idea of the posts as well, they are just two 3/16 rivets apparently. If you are interested I can even include the helmet for those looking for the full package. The helmet is a large, and comes with the mic still in it and a hookup for air supply. Its a kuzzins kustom.
