Seatbelts in the RV-10

[Bart]

I?ve been looking at Hooker Harness for the seat belts in my RV-10. Has any dealt with these folks and if so what type of seatbelts did you purchase, any accessory equipment, etc. As always any inputs from this group is always appreciated.

My belts are from Hooker. Biggest different that I noticed (and what made spend the extra $$ over what Van's offers) is that the latching mechanisms seem to be of much higher quality. Nothing quantitative, just impressions from trying both.

I believe you can also get the Hookers through the Rocket guys for a little less than the list price on Hooker's site. My RV is my second homebuilt with Hooker Harnesses and I wouldn't change a thing.

Bart,

I put Hooker Cam-Loc belts in my -9 and love the things. They do weigh a bit more than the standard belts but they are very easy for a novice to put on and take off.

Set the knob to the center and then insert each belt until it clicks in place. No need to hold it all together with your third, non-existent hand, as you search for each belt.

To get out, simply turn the knob and they all fall away.

Probably the only drawback is the price. But then again, I can say my wife gave me a pair of hookers for Christmas!

I went with Hookers when I found out they had an inertial reel model that attached to the same single point bolt/screw (It did require a bushing).

IIRC correctly Hooker provides a discount to RV builders
