I believe that an OEM is quite different than a racing harness. I agree that the two-year recert is quite short, particularly for a race car as most don't see to much sun shine.
On the street, it's a little different. I think my harnesses last about 4-5 years before they start to fray. A factory belt, which is more like nylon, seems to be impervious to UV exposure. My RJS harness is like cloth type feeling.
Hope I didn't tell you something you already know.
Passing on signing - not really involved in racing enough. Sorry.
Also I should mention that I strapped in my RJS harness probably some 2400 times in a street car over 4-years. That's not gonna help with fraying.
