I would think you would want that shoulder attach point on the aircraft frame( if seat comes loss). There is a safety
report floating around that says the angel of the strap as
it comes over your shoulder should be between 17 and 30
degrees( those numbers are about correct) above straight
back, to protect against compression of the Spin.

Subject: [LML] Seatbelts in Lancair 360

I am doing the interior on my 360 and originally I planned on using the plans version of mounting the shoulder harnesses to the baggage bulkhead. I am having second thoughts and want to get this sorted out quickly before my interior is finished. I would like a 5 point rotary buckle system. Currently I have it set up to have the shoulder harness be a "Y" and bolt to the rear baggage bulkhead built in hardpoints per plans. This takes my seat belts across the baggage area which could end up causing problems. 
I would like to attach the harness to the seat back itself but I have a box on the pax side that houses my hyd. pump and battery so it would make installation here more difficult. I read an article that says Do Not mount them on the ceiling. 
Looking for ideas and advice. Also would like advice on where to get 5 point harnesses.  I dont want Ebay motors seatbelts.
