KenI ran a 3/32" cable from the tail wheel post forward with a "Y" in it. The uppergoes to the shoulder harness and the bottom has a second "Y" to each side ofthe seat belts. The inspector was very happy with that. My passanger belt mountsgo through the ash block behind the seat on each side . They are each astainless eye bolt. The belts clip into them. The harness attaches to a bracketon the turtle deck which is also a windshield attach point. I had attachedto top of a cabane as I have seen others do but the inspector wouldnt allowit. He was afraid of possible effects of a wing buckling forward in a crash.It was a easy change and kept him happy.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
