The FAA has a publication for
retrofitting shoulder harnesses that I used for a spam can. One
thing the local FSDO required for the 337 Field Approval was a pull test that
loaded each anchor point to about 400 lbs, if my memory is correct.
That is A LOT of pull friends!
If the seat back is beefed up to
hold 800 lbs plus the anchor point reinforcements we could be talking
about A LOT of added weight too. That assumes the load test for
composites is the same as aluminum. I like the convenience of not having
the harnesses in the way but maybe the stock system should be considered for
it's merits of lighter weight and pre-engineering. I am adding Rear Window
Access, Boarding Steps, 2 Axis Auto Pilot, etc. - - - - it all adds
up.
