Nice! That solves to problem of keeping Van's belt setup and mounting
the unit in a good location.
It appears to me that a nice bracket can be fabricated that just lays on
the longerons. That would ensure alignment and otherwise be simple if a
bit oversized. But the rear belts would have to be mounted elsewhere
(glass top as I understand it). Or the bracket could be fabricated to
incorporate the seat belt anchor - but then you have several ferrous
bolts close to the magnetometer.
Thanks
