Weldone Fred, you culprit!
As I wrote earlier - this is a solution I like!
And it really is madeable to the completed plane without too much pain
to spoil everything.
If I asked "would you Fred make an another set of those headrest
expanders for me" would you?
If so, I am your customer and #1 in this queue, please.
With that money you can buy real safe safety belts...throw those Europa
loop belts to the bin.
Spinal in one piece undoubtedly but still as a looped prisoner ;)

Make modified upper fixing points - Agreed
I am not sure you need the "lengthened and foldable headrest".
That is an alternative if the original upper fixing point is still
going to be there. That mod is possible do afterwards. It is on my list.
With lenghtened headrest the safety belts do not compress your spinal -
they are coming from up. It is better to be also foldable - so it does
not restrict reaching back seat. I do not remember whos idea this was
but "he" has good pics of it.
Raimo...I think I'm the culprit...it does everything you say, and I
tested mine to 15 G's, assuming 100 # upper body weight.
The stress loads all go back to the original hardpoint at the back of
the stock seat back/headrest. Pixs below are self explanatory.
