Jim,You will probably have to figure out how much tilt-back you are going tohave on the cabanes, first. I think I am a little heavier than some, and amplanning on 4" tilt, with plans length cabanes. Some 1x2 pine and someplywood to simulate the center section should work for a mock up to figureout where those cables are coming thru.Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear(13 ribs down.)-----Original Message-----

Oscar, interesting way to attach a shoulder harness for the front cockpit. What happens in a crash and the wing is torn off or even twisted around? I'm really interested in finding a safe way to install a shoulder harness in my piet.ThanksGene----- Original Message -----
