Why even bother to do it if it won't save you a sever headache or worse?   My motto is, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right."

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.

I seriously doubt that any FSDO will sign off on a 337 with the Falconar shoulder belt anchor attachment.  Those 5 rivets will not hold much in a emergence landing.  The forward stresses will likely shear them off.  Check out my 337 at the EOC website.  Quite a few people have installed it.

After reading many pages on shoulder harness installation it looks like the
one I was talking about can be used under the term given for  [MINOR
CHANGE ] as it does not require any changes of any kind to the A/C you just
remove a few rivets and reinstall new ones in the same holes. 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.

At the Ercoupe maintenance forum, on Friday at Sun-n-Fun,  the subject
of shoulder harnesses came up. 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.
