anchor bolt hole size in Crows
Now that ACS is carrying them, does anybody know if the holes in the anchor point holes are now sized for the RV's or does one still need an adapter (washer), or drill new holes beside the existing?

I just received my harness from Crow (ordered though ACS) and no, the bolt holes are not the correct size. No spacers were included, so modification will still be required. Other than that, the harness is very nice and has a lot of room for adjustment so they should fit anyone.

Has anyone got photos of the blue webbing from Crow?

Can the 5 pt harness be used as a 4 pt harness?
I did not install the 5th point anchor system and will not be flying aerobatics in my 9A. I like the Crow harnesses but they do not offer a 4pt harness. Can I simply just not install the crotch strap? From the earlier comments about releasing the shoulder harness, that seems like a possibility. Or does Crow make a custom 4pt harness for RV's?

Yes, it isn't necessary to use the crotch strap

I flew for quite a while before I installed the 5th point.

Brice, No 5th point in my -10 and all is fine other than items already noted before.

Shoulder pads?
What's the consensus on whether or not to get the shoulder pads?

5th point
If you call Crow instead of using the website, they will be happy to accommodate your request for only 4 pts. I had the same question so I called. They were modestly cheaper.
I wouldn't be without the shoulder pads.

Brice,
I have hit my head on the canopy more times than I'd like, so the 5th is a nice option if you are in turbulence. ( I have stock van's belts I guess).
You then don't have to wrench on the shoulder belts as hard!
as far as crashworthiness, the 5th point is pretty darn important in keeping your body in place, not flailing about or flipping back into the baggage area as seems to happen surprisingly often.
