I seriously doubt it!

I don't - they just look cheap and, for a safety part, I wouldn't want to take the risk.
There's no mention of any standards etc that they've been made to or conform to.
Even the eyelets look like a poorly made part for a high tensile bit - the threads look terrible!

I had the same thoughts but wondered if you guys would say the same thing.
Im struggling to find a nice looking centre lock, this one does look nice to me.
Any suggestions - price dont matter

I seriously doubt it!

How about Sabelt ones? The release mechanism looks "similar"

The biggest problem with all of those is the branding. I want them plain blue

I seriously doubt it!

This is a good start, they are made over here so maybe you could give them a call?

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I have some securon 3 point ones, but for some reason they kept coming loose, I think it was to do with the adjusters being right up against the seat holes. They felt comfortable though too
