I have not yet decided, which harness to take.
I already bought used Ariel ones, but shipping procedure was too complicated from UK to EU so I unfortunately could not get them.
Basically I would prefer them as the original ones.
Indeed I have the Willans mentioned in my registration and I agree, this would be the easiest way to go, legally.
However after spending some time with research I do not like the adjusters of the Willans for the lap belts.
I only found the Silverstone LDT6 which has other -probalby better- adjusters.
I guess, that the Ariel Willans are customised for the Atom, so the single belts are not that long so the wind would not blow them around.
I had a Schroth Enduro 3x2 for testing and these adjusters and their location seem to be very good. Also you can shorten (cut off) the shoulder and lap belts length if desired.
I also found this design at one Sabelt and one very reasonably priced (160€) Beltenick harness.
I would also prefer a 4 point harness to be extended to a 6 point.
All the 6 point FIA harnesses have the crutch strap fixed to the lock, so you cannot use them as a 4 point.
At the Schroth locks you can easily change the fixed belt though, not sure about other manufacturers.
