-10 Rear Seat Crotch Strap /5 Point?

[raabs]

Im ordering seats a little late in the process and didn't realize that many of the seat manufacturers don't accommodate a seat cushion allowing for crotch strap /5-point haarness in the rear seat.

I have precious cargo in back and even if they don't fit in the front, I'd prefer them in the back. I built it with the connections

Anybody have recommendations on who can provide seats (rear) accommodating crotch straps / 5 point harnesses?

SouthFlorida is a no go - surprises me.

Hmm. I'll have to take another look. It's seemed like they are about 3-4 inches back from the the front.
Thx.

I have the five points in the back seats and the standard cushion
They fit fine

I have Aerosport rear seats and ended up removing the crotch strap lugs, as there was no slot in the lower cushion to accommodate the strap.

I kept the rear seat fifth point in both RV-10 builds, and glad I did.

DJ at Cleaveland Tools did the first build (15 years ago) Abby at Flightline Interiors did the set for the new build. All included a cutout for the center strap. If a seat bottom is short enough to not need this cutout I’d estimate it would not be all that comfortable.

I looked at it again today and reviewed images online and can tell that most rear seats are right at the edge or overhang it < 1" or so. Either way the belt connect point is an inch or two back from the edge which would require a little shorter seat bottom or a slot/cutout.

I'll call Flightline tomorrow and what they have. I really like South Florida Sport Aviation seats but I also want 5pt harness.

Appreciate the feedback.

If you get your rear seat foam from Vans they have it cut out for the crotch strap. Your upholstery person can make the seats work with it.

Thanks. I guess I'll have to find a different upholstery person. Was hoping to use South Florida Sport but they won't accommodate the 5-point.for the back seats. Have a email to Lemke and Global.

Already have the Hooker harnesses. This is about rear seat bottoms.
