   Another seatbelt source is a company named Morris Technologies.  Dan
Morris runs the company and his e-mail address is morristec@icdc.com.
They're a distributor for the Schroth harnesses that are in the Columbia.
Schroth is a high quality belt made by a German company which has their U.S.
offices in Boulder, CO. Their web site is
http://www.schroth.com/english/e2.html.  I'm looking into their 3 point
belts with inertia reels that the Columbia uses.  He said if I wanted a set
of four of the 3 point harnesses with inertia reels, it would run $1000,
which I find a bit steep.  If I don't want the inertia reels for the back
seat, those two belts would run $130 each instead of $250.
   Like Fred, I've also talked with Tom Hodgdon at Amsafe.  Amsafe is
another big company that makes, among other things, belts that are used in
airliners.  I'm waiting for Tom to send me a sample of some harnesses that
are hopefully less expensive than the Schroth belts.  He said he's worked
with Lancair builders before and he seems eager to develop a product we can
all use.
   The one sure thing is that I'm not using the belts supplied with my ES
kit.  Too much stuff dangling from the walls and I want shoulder restraints
in the back seat.
