FredG Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Anyone put new belts in their planes? I have a 2006 CTsw, high back seats, and I am tired of having the shoulder restraints loosen minutes after I tighten them. Experiences, positive and negative are welcome. I remember when Mack (Kentuckynet, I think) posted about new lap and shoulder belts in his CTsw (Hooker Harness). He was pleased. (I am registered as Experimental LSA and can do the installation without additional approval.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 You can put foil on the belt adjuster to close up the gaps, and it should help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdarza Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I would welcome too any suggestions on how to keep the shoulder harnesses from falling off the shoulder. Unless i tighten so hard i can barely move. Also, as you tighen the shoulder harness,--up comes the lap belt. I usually fly with just the lap belt these days.

Madhatter Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I use a Velcro loop up high on the shoulder harness ( the type of Velcro used for tie wraps, hook and loop on same strip. Lowes. My harness never falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Lee Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sew on a 1" strip of velcro down the shoulder belt front is one way. There is basically 3 grades of webbing. A thin very flexible (what we have), a medium thicker grade (what I used to use in my dive business) and a heavy very stiff thick grade. If you used the medium grade the belts shouldn't slip. As far as falling off the shoulders I have a 1" buckle that has a female on one side and a male end on the other. These are attached to 1" strap looped around the shoulder harness. Once you are in place just snap this together and the harness never comes off the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
