----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- The way the reg is written the FSDO does not have to sign of on it and no 337 is required as long as there is no structural change to the A/C all is needed is the authorized mech to make a log book entry as a minor change.

So any authorized mechanic can make the entry in the log book as a minor change. I am referring to the shoulder harness installation from Falconar in Canada. This only pertains to A/C manufactured before 1978 the way I read it.

A lot of ideas were passed around especially those concerning what the FAA would approve. There is a good web site with lots of interesting design criteria and the FAA's policy statement on installing shoulder harness in older aircraft. The web address is: http://ww1.faa.gov/avr/afs/safety/harness/seatbelt.htm Cut and paste it and give it a try.
