 Posted: Wed May 19, 2010 5:28 pm Post subject: Seat belt sources and finishing of hardpoint |
 |
|
I have replicated the front seat hardpoints in the rear so all 4
shoulder belts will attach to the canopy top with single NAS 517-5-9 bolts.
(I did not do the AMSAFE installation required for their inertial
reels. I did dig out the hole from the inside, scarfed the outer
surface and built up the hardpoint with layers of cloth and filled rest
of thickness with flox)
Question 1: I have a nice tan/brown Flightline interior and would like
to matching belts - any suggestions on sources? The Vans belts would be
fine if available in the right color.
Question 2: I want to glass the bolts into place but I'm worried if I
do that, will mounting the seatbelt fracture the glass? Or is the bolt
being left flush and uncovered? What have others done? How has it worked?
Thanks.

Bill,
I have the same interior from Flightline. The Hooker belts are a very close color match. Can't help you with question 2.

Hey Bill,
Question #2. I cut a slot in the head, imbeded a pop rivet stem in it to
keep it from turning, and glassed it over -- got the idea here -- and it is
still invisible from the outside, no cracks. And I can't imagine needing to
access it unless something really bad happened.
Wes has finished his fly-off time and is REALLY turning up the heat to get
me to fly with him. Maybe if you came down and flew with him, I'd get a
break! 
Later, - Lew
