The metal sleeve is flanged on both sides and is free to spin in the
attach tab even after the nut and bolt are tightened. This would be a nice<= br> feature since it allows the seat belts to pivot and self-align with the

So here are my questions:
Has anyone used 1/4" attach bolts for the seat belts? Are they adequat= e? I
would tend to think so since Hooker delivers seat belts with 1/4" atta= ch
points.

Is having pivoting seat belt attach points a worthwhile feature?

Thanks,

Hoping for first flight this summer
