Tcraft938 Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Definitely something I would like to do. My C has a long shoulder strap that connects where the back seat, seat belts connect and it goes forward over the front seat (under headrest) to the front lap belt to act as a shoulder harness. I've never seen anything like it (I'm no expert), I'm wondering if it's someone's made up design that wouldn't do much. The Alpha looks nice, I hear they can be a bear to install the mounting bracket because the aircraft skin is so tight to the cage/frame.

Those are illegal , because of the low mounting points , they will cause compression fractures in your back , if in a substantial deceleration..

khedrei Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Alan, I have shoulder belts in my K. But they are not recoil belts. Would these simply replace the shoulder harness? I suppose I could sell my non recoil shoulder belts for a couple hundred... they are in good shape but recoil ones seem really nice. Will these fit any mooney? Do you see any issue installing on my K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Fox Posted July 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 As long as yours are the Alphas or Amsafe you could just swap out the shoulders , I also found the other cover .. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Taylor Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hey @Alan Fox do you happen to have another pair of covers for these style retractors anywhere in your stash-o-stuff? Color's not important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% While I hope to never need the shoulder part of the upgrade, I appreciate and benefit on every flight from the push button buckle when dropping the gear. No more skinned up knuckle on my right hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't have manual gear, the button is nice. I still catch the latch type when adjusting the trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
