ANCHOR INSTALLATION

Apply masking tape around the bottom of your helmet approximately 1”
(26mm) up from the top edge of the rubber molding.

See Figure 2

On the masking tape at the back of the helmet, mark three points 1.5” (43mm)

above the rubber molding and spaced about a half inch apart. Connect the
dots to create a horizontal line.

See Figure 3

Using a exible ruler, measure the same distance from a xed point (for
example - the visor mounting hole) on each side of the helmet back to the

horizontal line. The center line of the helmet is midway between where the two
lines intersect the horizontal line at the back of the helmet.

See Figure 4

Measure 5.5” (139.7mm) forward from the rear center line on each side of the
helmet to a point 1.75” (44.45mm) above the rubber molding.

See Figure 5

Make sure you have two marks, each 6” forward from the rear center line a 1.5”

above the top edge of the rubber edge molding.

Slowly drill a 1/4” (6mm) hole at the two hole centers marked above. Drill
through the helmet shell but not through the soft padding. A thin piece of sheet

metal can be slipped between the shell and padding to help this.

See Figure 6

De-burr and clean holes.

ANCHOR INSTALLATION

Gently pry helmet liner away from shell using a blunt instrument. See Figure 7

Insert the nutwasher inside the helmet against the shell using a wrench. Align with hole. Insert

post through the cap, spring and base and screw into nutwasher. Tighten until the point of the

post faces 40 degrees downward. Use a 7/16” (11mm) wrench to hold the post anchor outside

of the helmet in position and tighten from inside.

See Figure 8

Tighten 1/4 turn beyond snug. The ats and slot of the post anchor should be at a 40 degree

angle and the point of the post should face the rear of the helmet.

Gently pry helmet liner away from shell using a blunt instrument.

See Figure 7

Insert the nutwasher inside the helmet against the shell using a wrench. Align with hole. The
M61 Quick Release Helmet Anchors are handed, the pin opening needs to be pointed toward

the back of the helmet on each side. The anchor needs to be angled downward from the

helmet at about 40 degrees down. With this orientation, the Simpson logo should be level on
the side of the helmet. When tensioning the screw, hand tighten until secure and then add
an additional ¼ turn to tension. Attach the Velcro patch provided to the front chin bar of the

helmet and attach the end of the release tether to it. **Refer to page 15 for picture

SAFETY NOTE Simpson recommends using thread locking uid when assembling helmet anchors.

Get into car and buckle fully into the seat with seat belts. The head restraint

should t comfortably under the shoulder harnesses.

Seat the restraint against the shoulder belts by pulling up on the helmet

tethers, before they are hooked to the helmet. The device will rest against the

shoulder belts on the top, the seat in back and the driver’s shoulders.

The helmet tethers should be adjusted or changed to allow for no more than

2.25” of straight forward head movement. Measure from a resting position

(See Figure 13 dotted line) moving your entire head forward (not your chin to

your chest). You should still be able to rotate your chin to your chest.

The tether adjustment is the measurement when the tethers rst have slight tension.

When the rear tether adjustments are complete make sure to lock down the tether by

weaving the webbing back through the adjuster one last time. Use the rubber O-ring to

hold the excess webbing in place.

Unhook the tether from the helmet.

IN CAR ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: Some drivers may want this tether shortened for

more side to side restriction. The tether may be adjusted

shorter by as much as 1” depending on driver comfort.

With this adjustment too short, the helmet will be pulled

downward on the driver’s head and may be

uncomfortable. When adjusted too short it can affect side

to side head rotation

Tethers adjusted properly should create a “Triangle” in the tether

adjustment.

HYBRID S USAGE

To Install a Hybrid S into a 3 point seat belt system, the SAS,
Seat Belt Anchoring System, are not used. ( The SAS straps
anchor loops hook into the seat belt buckle in a 5, 6 or 7 point
set of seat belts in a Race Car. ) as shown on page 14

Just as in a Race Seat installation, the occupant puts on the
Hybrid S and gets into the seat.

See Figure 19

Follow the instructions on tting the device to the wearer.

Hook up the 3 point belt and sit in your normal driving position.

Have a helper, apply gentle pressure to the shoulder pads on
the top of the device. This will keep the device stable during

the tether adjustment procedure. The device should be in a

comfortable position behind the driver’s back, against the seat
cushion.

If the device is uncomfortable in the seat, a device pad can
purchased that will attach to the back of the seat and provide a
slot for the device to sit. This is not normally needed for the use
in a soft back seat such as in a passenger car or HPDE.

HYBRID S USAGE

To adjust the Helmet Tethers:

While your helper is holding the device in it’s location and the wearer is

looking straight forward, hold the triangulated tether up to the side of the
wearer’s helmet.

Adjust the side tethers so that the tether end tting can be easily inserted

into the helmet anchor without having it apply downward pressure to the

helmet. A comfortable adjustment on the side tether is to have about an
additional ¼” of slack in the tethers at this point.

With your helper still holding the device down and the wearer looking
straight forward, adjust the rear tethers so that there is between ½” to 1”

of slack in the rear tether. Test the amount of head movement by moving
the head Straight Forward.

The wearer should have between ½” to 2” of Straight Forward head

movement before the slack is taken out of the tether system. Remember
when checking this, not to rotate the head down, but translate it straight
forward. This should be plenty of head movement to be able to drive the
car for on track activities.

Your Device is now ready for use.

Q: My Helmet came pre-drilled, can I use the pre-drilled hole?

A: Simpson helmets will be the correct location. If your helmet is not a Simpson check with your

helmet manufacturer to conrm the location.

Q: Do I need special seat belts to work with your devices?

A: No, our devices work with 2 or 3 inch seat belts, Latch and Link or Cam Lock.

Q: Do I need to replace my head restraint if I am involved in a wreck?

A: Your Simpson Head Restraint device is built to sustain the most violent of wrecks. However, in the

event of a hard wreck, you should send your restraint to us for proper inspection by a Simpson Safety

Specialist. We may recommend replacing the helmet tethers. While the chances of the device being

unharmed are great, it is not worth taking a chance.

Q: Can two people of different sizes share the same device?

A: Yes, we have a chest extender that will plug into the chest strap to give more length in the chest.

Q: Is my device adjusted wrong if I can touch my chin to my chest?

A: No, with your device adjusted correctly you should be able to rotate you head enough for your

chin to touch your chest.

Q: I am having trouble turning my head even after adjustments, what should I do?

A: Call you Simpson Safety Specialist; your setup may require an EZ Slide System.

Q: When I measure my helmet for the anchors hard foam in the way on the inside,

what should I do?

A: Very gently use a large at screw driver or small pry bar to wedge between the liner and the shell.

This liner is not glued into the helmet, but use caution not to compromise the shell or the liner. Then

simply slide the nut washer into place. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH OR COMPROMISE THIS FOAM

LINER.

Q: I have a Hybrid and it feels like it pushes me forward out of the seat. What can I do?

A: You can order the optional molded seat pad that can be cut, trimmed, shaved or ground to be

Q: My child is just getting started racing, will I have to purchase another device as they grow?

A: Probably not. This will depend on how big they are and how fast they grow. Once the child is at a

28 inch chest, the device that they wear will be able to be re-sized to whatever size they need.
