The answer is yes, but they are common "D" batteries so it is no big deal.

| Subject: | 5 point military style seat belts |
--> RV7-List message posted by: "Brian Meyette" <brianpublic@starband.net>
Do any of you folks know of a good source for a 5-point military style seat
belt set? I really didn't want the non-military style that Van's carries,
but I may end up going back there. I am pretty miffed that I wrote to both
Hooker Harness and Silver Parachute, but neither could bother to respond.
It just amazes me when these companies spend thousands of dollars on
advertising and marketing, yet they won't bother responding when they have a
customer, ready to buy, knocking at their door. I've run into that sort of
indifference with several expensive avionics vendors.
If anyone knows of other seat belt choices, I'd like to hear about it. I
did a Copernic search and a search through the Yeller Pages on Van's AF
site, but no luck so far.
TIA,
brian

Brian, try Hooker again, I just installed my 5 point harnesses from them and
it looks indestructible and at a very competitive price. It is fatter and
stronger than the drawing for the Vans crotch strap anchor point assumes, so
some minor adaptions will need to be made.
You can be confident Hooker has the product you need.

Brian,
It's unfortunate that you have had a bad experience with Hooker or Silver. I
purchased the Hooker Harness and I had outstanding customer service, so much
that I still remember how nice these folks were to deal with. Have you tried
to just call them directly?

If you guys are buying hooker harnesses, but them from Team Rocket Aircraft.
They are $312.00 for the COMPLETE SET (Both Seats), and may be ordered in
any color combination. Mark Fredric sells them cheaper than Hooker will
sell them to you directly, and the 5 point harnesses from Van's are
unvelievably overpriced ($540.00 EACH= $1080 Total). So, that makes the
Hooker harness about 70% ($700.00) cheaper than Van's. I have Hookers in
both my -6's and wouldn't trade them. You can get them in 3 widths and many
colors.
Call Mark at Team Rocket Aircraft, or check out their website:

Dick,
Price for each 5 point military style harness was US$170 each. There are
cheaper harnesses, but of much lower strength. I am in Australia and because
our dollar is cheaper I expected the best price to be here in Australia, but
no I could not beat the Hooker deal.
Regards, David.

I did...while building an RV6 last year, and yet another this year. Here's
the cut and paste directly from Van's pages:
5 point "military style" seat belts:
P/N#: SBH 503332-401 & 402
Price = $540.00 EACH (x2 = $1080.00).
Van's "Standard" Harness.
P/N#: SHB-6 BLK
Price = $125.00 EACH
Crotch Strap = $25.00 EACH
Total (above x2 = $300.00 even).
If you've sean Van's standard belts (at $300.00), and compared them with the
Hooker Harnesses ($312.00), you'd agree there really is NO comparision. The
Hookers have standard pads on both lap belts and both shoulder belts. The
webbing comes in 14 colors, the pad fabric in 20 colors, & the trim in 20
colors.
I've flown under both and would take the hookers anyday, plus, I think they
look better too!
Back to the original question that Brian asked about, was the "miliatary
style" 5 point aerobatic belt. In direct pricing comparision,
Hooker----$312.00 / Van's----$1080.00. The difference comes to $768.00
savings for the hookers. I'd call that quite a savings, wouldn't you??
Just because something comes from Vans, doesn't mean it's a deal
(kits/engines aside).
Cheers,
Stein Bruch

Dear Listers,
First, I would like to thank everyone that has so graciously already made a
Contribution to support the Email Lists this year!! Thank you!
That being said, I'm hoping that everyone else is just waiting until the
last minute to make their Contribution... The percentage of List members
making a Contribution is well below last year at this time. Was it
something I said...? :-)
There's only a few more days left in this year's Fund Raiser; please help
support the continued operation and upgrade of these Lists by making a
Contribution today.
You might look at it this way; surly the Lists are as entertaining as a
typical magazine subscription - maybe more so because you can actually make
your personal opinion known as well as ask questions of the "experts"! A
year's subscription to Kitplanes, for example, is $30 -- and you only get
it once a month! You can get nuggets of goodness from the List almost
every day as well as on-line search 14 year's of Archives! Your Lists
subscription is certainly worth a similar amount, isn't it?! :-)
Won't you please make your Contribution today!
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Thank you for all your support!
