Seat Belt Support

[Old Chub]

I installed these in all four positions on my two front seats.   Helps keep the belts and buckles out of the J bar when no one is the the passengers seat.   We use these in the helicopters to keep the belts out of the collective controls.

Good idea.... Where do you get them?

[Old Chub]

I am pretty sure it is an Amsafe product but will have to check to be sure.

I want some please!!!

The item nomenclature is Sheath, Seat Belt, Black.   P/N 500812-35 for the one 10.75" long and 500812-25 for the sheath that is 10.25 inches long.   

I used the -35 and did not find them to be too long.   They could always be shortened to accommodate a different seat profile.

Or - you could use the Alpha Aviation push button ones.  I used to have the flip tops like these and every once in a while the J-bar would clip the Pilot or Co-Pilot latch. 

Now - nothing.  See https://alphaaviation.com/mooney-m20-a-thru-k-push-button-release/.  Cost me $400+ a side for the two front seats.  Worth the investment (for me anyway).

Looks like a guy could buy some kydex, soften it and form those around a piece of thin plywood fairly easily. 

Might have to give that a shot. I’m tired of trying to dig my seatbelt out from between my trim wheel and fire extinguisher

looks like an interesting project...

May have to use the kitchen oven, when the house is empty...

Meh. Heat gun and patience. You can redo an entire glareshield that way.... even if it’s inverted

Ingenious!

Great pic too.

You are going to be added to the polymer hall of fame for thermoformed parts with that one.

That’s better than some of the 3D printed pieces growing around here...

Best regards,
