Thanks Al. You must have the early version of the catalog they had at Sun N Fun. The newer one they did for Oshkosh has the pages a little different and I can't find it there. I will dig out my older one.
I guess that 12 Gs on my seat belt bolts is plenty strong enough.

A AN4 bolt used as a tailwheel axle has a shear strength of 3,680 lbs. Hmmm, assuming a 36 pound load on the tail that's a 100g landing. :-) Reference: the table on page 84 of the 2004 Wicks catalog.
