DLRSparco Zipper
the zipper on my Sparco jacket is toast. I called Sparco to inquire on a zipper and they said the only way to get it is to have us sew one in for you and it's a hundred bucks.
Curious to know what others have done in the past.
I did find a source though..https://discoveryparts.com/nomex-suit-care/4477-sparco-nomex-replacement-race-suit-zipper.html

Canted ValveSource the part and find a seamstress, or maybe a tailor. Might want to get an iron-on SFI sticker as well.

CURTIS REEDI had a local seamstress/tailor replace the zipper in my jacket. You can get nomex thread from Profox racing.

goddard racingi just had to replace the zipper on mine two weeks ago. just get the length and go buy a new zipper and swap them out. anyone that knows how to sew can do it pretty quick and easy.

Sugar ShaneHad issues with every sparco jacket I’ve had, find a seamstress and have a good one sewn on. They for sure don’t use a good quality zipper.

Big SteveThe zipper on my $700 Sparco lightweight -15 Jacket failed in less that 2 years. The zippers failed on both my Sparco -5 jacket and pants in about 2 years
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SPARCO JACKET OR PANTS EVER!!!!
