Don,
Your life will be a lot easier if you have the actual belts in hand when
fitting the brackets. I found that following Van's instructions with
their crotch strap kit did not properly fit the Hooker harnesses I
purchased. Re-working this installation is a bear and can be avoided by
having everything at the start......
Regards,
Joe

Yes, the 5-point bracket is much easier to install before you get everything
else finished. Wiring comes to mind here. I almost did not install the
5-point bracket due to my wiring had to be moved to make room. Also,
standing almost on your head while putting it in with the cockpit already
done makes you want to go on diet. And age could be a factor too. At 63 I
am not as flexible as once was. But I got it done just the same. My friend
installed his early on and it was a much simpler task.

Don
Now!
Once the fuse is flipped I insatlled the brackets.
I am sure it could have been done during the mid fuse fabrication.

Just my experience, I too use the Hooker harness with my 5-point and did
just a bit of filing on the harness to get an easier slip in fit. I did not
have to rework anything with the Van's bracket installation. But, it is a
tight fit and I guess that is better than one that is loose. I installed
mine about 2 years ago and maybe something has changed with the bracket or
the belt since then. Having the belts beforehand could help ensure a
trouble free install. You just need pick the color and come up with the
money sooner.

If you go with the Hooker Harness, don't just blindly follow Vans
plans. I believe that Vans calls for an AN5 bolt but the HH takes
an AN4 sized bolt. If memory works.
And the earlier you can get this in, the better.

Hey Walter....After I had all my cushions upholstered I realised that
you need to cut a hole in the seat cushion for the ball crusher strap to
pass through...I.e it does not go thru the stick slot, you need to cut
another hole is that correct?
Thanks

That's correct. A slot needs to be cut in the seat bottom for the
ball crusher.

Hello Listers,
I just wanted to send out a reminder to all of the Listers regarding the new-ish
BBS (Bulletin Board System) Forums that are available at Matronics for the Email
Lists. The BBS Forums give you Web-based access into the same email content
that is generated by the Email Lists. When an email message is posted to
any of the email lists, a copy of the message is also copied to the respective
List forum section on in the BBS Forums. By the same token, when a message is
posted within the BBS Forum interface context, it will also be posted to the
respective email list.
Basically, the BBS Forums give you yet another method of accessing the Matronics
Email List content. Some people prefer email, some prefer web forums; now you
can have it either way or both with the Matronics Lists!
You'll have to register for a login/password on the BBS Forum to _post_ from the
BBS, but you can view message content without registering for an account. To
Register for an account, look for the link at the top of the main BBS Forum
page entitled "Register". Click on it and follow the instructions. Site Administrator
approval will be required (to keep spammers out), but I will try to
get these approved in less than 24 hours.
If you haven't yet taken a look at the Matronics Email List content over on the
BBS Forum, surf on over and take a peek. Its pretty cool. The URL is:
http://forums.matronics.com
I want to stress that the BBS Forums are simply an adjunct to the existing Matronics
Email Lists; another way of viewing and interacting with the Matronics List
content. If you like Email, great. If you like Web Forums, great. If you
like both, great. Its up to you how you view and create your content.
You will also find a URL link at the bottom of this email called Matronics List
Features Navigator. You can click on this link at any time to find URL links
to all of the other great features available on the Matronics site like the Archive
Search Engine, List Browse, List Download, FAQs, Wiki, and lots more.
There is a specific Navigator for each Email List and the link for this specific
List is shown below.
Thanks for all the great list participation and support; it is greatly appreciated!
