Wondering what type of bracket any of your RV-4 builders used to
attach the crotch strap and also, have any of you used Van's canopy
safety latch with the reverse action in the canopy closure ie. forward
to go not forward to open

Wally,
I attached the front crotch strap to one of my spar bolts. Still works great
after 1500 hours. My canopy handle is spring loaded aft when closed. Works
great. I installed a taxi postion "hold open" pin in my roll bar that also acts
as a safety catch in case it came open for some unknown reason. It slides through
the center canopy bulkhead. Hope that helps.

Wally, Also, I used a standard seat belt strap attach bracket to connect the crotch
strap to the spar bolt up front. I don't have a rear crotch strap as I plan
on my back seat passenger being female...:)
When I bought the crotch strap from Van's it came already set up. All I had to
do was bolt it on.

I have a Hooker 5 point in my -4. I made a triangular piece out of 1/8"
steel. Bolted the base of the triangle to the two center top main spar
bolts on the firewall side. I did not need to find longer spar bolts but
used AN364 thin lock nuts..just had the min thread clearance. Found that I
had to cut a relief in my seat cushion...so as I moved up, or hung in the
straps, the crotch strap would not compress the seat cushion, allow the lap
belt to ride up, and let me bonk my head on the canopy.
