For the rear cockpit, from pictures I've seen, some have their shoulderbelts exit from the top of the bulkhead and some from the bottom. Is therea preference for comfort and or safety?Thanks,JackDSM________________________________________________________________________________

Jack, from everything I have read you never want to anchor your shoulder belts below your shoulders. In a crash it will compress your spine. There is some thought that you would be better off without shoulder belts, rather that using ones anchored at the bottom.Gene in snowy beautiful TennesseeN502R ----- Original Message -----
