I have just installed the 5th point
to a 5-point harness in my LNC2. They
work great and now I can keep my butt planted in the seat regardless of
what gravity is trying to do about it. To
get the belts made, I had to order
6 sets, so I have 5 sets available for sale. They will cost $50 per
set of 2 belts plus shipping. These were made by one of the major
aircraft belt companies, Davis Aircraft Products.
The belts will only work if you have
a particular syle of hardware. The end fitting of the new belt is
identical to my existing shoulder harness end shown below and of course
also fits onto the male part of the seat belt the same way as the existing
shoulder harnesses. I had first verified that three of these fittings
will go on at the same time. The seat belt end is shown in the second
photo. The dimensions of these parts are in the crude drawing below.
Below is what the finished installation
looks like. An aluminum strip is first bent to the correct angle
to point so that the belt is in a straight line from the floor to the lap.
This is glassed (10 bid) to the floor. The end is attached with an
AN3-7A and passes through a slot in the seat pan (make it big engough for
the whole belt to pass through during maintenance). You can just
see the top of the aluminum angle in the second photo. They are adjustable
in length in two places, at the bottom and with the pull adjuster between
the seat pan and the lap. Fully extended they are about 14"
and will go down to about 9"
When I am in the seat, the crotch belt
comes straight to the lap attach point and does not pull on the seat pan
or the seat cushion.
Anyway, if you have similar belts now
and are interested, contact me off list. First come, first served.
