Can you cut SFI belts ?

I just bought a new set of RCI SFI belts for my car, and they are way longer than the old ones. It is really just the over the shoulder belts that attach to the rollber that have at least an extra 24' or so. I was thinking of cutting 12 - 18 inches off them so i don't have this huge piece flapping around.

Anyone know if I would get hassled by tech for doing this ?

Belts

I have not been hassled about mine at the two tracks I've been to. I cut the excess with a razor then heated the end real good with a lighter so it wouldn't fray.

We cut the belts on an offroad car by slightly sharpening an old butter knife and then heating the knife. Cuts like butter and the ends get fused at the same time. Worked great.
