seat belt HW
My seat belts from vans did not come with hardware for attaching to the structure. I'm guess AN-3 bolts?

But I believe that Vans calls for AN-4 hardware

I believe all hte plans show is the hardware for attaching the brackets and the shoulder-harness cable to the structure. Since seat belts don't come standard with the kit, I don't think the plans actually show what to use to bolt the seat belts to the anchors. The seat belts themsleves don't come with any hardware or instructions for this.

Plans or not, Gary is right - AN4 - at least!

Phil,
AN4-6 for shoulder and lap. Also need spacers to go in belt holes. 3/8 dia with 1/4 hole, 3/16 wide.

hmmm... looking at DWG 29, detail e shows the assembly, and the drawing shows the spacer F-7116 being made from AT6-058x5/16, and the spacer is marked as having 5/16 diameter. But Steve is right, 3/8 is a much better fit. The holes in the seat belt are slightly larger than 3/8. Is this an error in the plans?
Also, the drawing says "4 req'd per aircraft". Shouldn't the same spacers be used for the holes in the shoulder harnesses, which are the same size (just over 3/8") ??

You should have a small length of 3/8 OD x 1/4 ID al tubing to make six of the spacers.

Yes I do, but see my previous post above. The plans call for 5/16 OD which seems too small. I also have some of this tubing, but I'm wondering if the plans are mistaken here. I've emailed Vans.
