Hey,
There's not much to show. This is the only photo I can find that shows it
at all. You can't see the clear tubing protecting the cables, but you can
kind of see the climbing carbineer wrapped in tape.
I agree with with the comments that most front "pit" should restraints are
not going to help after a certain G force. I do hope it would help in a
ground loop, upside down type situation which is the most common. I think
going up to the upper wing attach points is probably the best. Just bolt a
fitting to each one with a hole and hook your harness up into it.
The force of the occupant would be taken by the four swages, each of them
are double-swaged. At least one on each side would have to "give" for
things to move forward. I hope I don't have to test it.
My pilot shoulder harness also relys on cables/swages which anchor into the
tail-post area.
