Hello Nick:

I have attached several photos of my seatbelt/shoulder harness
arrangement in my IV-P.

The first photo shows the location of the right shoulder harness
attachment point on the right side of the fuselage behind the copilots
seat..  This is the location of the standard Lancair shoulder harness
attach-point installed as depicted in the builders manual. 

The second photo shows the installation of the inertia reel as low as
possible and adjacent to the fuel lines.  The black square object on top
of the inertia reel was just a convenient spot to locate a small DC-DC
converter.

The 3rd photo shows the termination of the seat belt and the shoulder
harness on the flange that is secured by main spar bolt.

A combination seatbelt/shoulder harness came standard in my Ford Probe
and I thought that it made sense in an aircraft application.  In my
ground accident at Las Vegas in 2003, it kept me out of the windshield
after maxing out the G meter at
+ 6 and - 4 G's when I hit the ground during liftoff.  The shoulder
harness is compliments of a 2002 Lexus.

The 4th photo is an attempt to show a closeup of the inertial reel and
the bolt that secures it thru the lower fuselage.

The last photo is an attempt to show another view of both the seatbelt
and the shoulder harness together.  In practice it is a simple matter to
first attach the seatbelt and then  pull the shoulder  harness around me
and down to attach it.

I regret that the photos are such poor quality.  I have reduced them in
size as much as I dare so that Marv might include them in the LML.

If you need any further info, please contact me at billhogarty@gmail.com
