The two FAA Advisory Circulars which pertain to the installation of
seat belts and shoulder straps are AC21-34 and AC43-12.2A. They can be
downloaded from the FAA website. If you have trouble finding them or
downloading them, let me know and I can e-mail copies of them to you.
Happy building and good flying,
