Belts and Harnesses

Post by kconner »

I bought a set of seat belts from Wag-Aero which are made by Aero Fabricators and more hardware and webbing to make shoulder harnesses. After lacing up the lap belts they are not easy to adjust for length and seem way more complicated than belts I've used in other airplanes. Without getting in to 3 inch aerobatic belts and harnesses does anyone have a good source for 2 inch belts and harnesses which have a small strap which is pulled for easy adjustment that can be bought as a set?

We used Hooker. One nice thing you can do when you order them is to have the shoulder harness belts sewn to lap belts. It makes it a lot easier to find the belts when you're thrashing around trying to get buckled up. It also keeps you from throwing the shoulder harnesses outside the cockpit which is a good way to scratch up your sheetmetal.
Just figure out the lengths you need and pick your color.
