I think Van's only pushes 4pt safety belts, so if I want 5pt system, when I
should be worrying about installing the brackets for 5pt? I'm working on
fuse bulkheads now...

Yes, the 5-point bracket is much easier to install before you get everything
else finished. Wiring comes to mind here. I almost did not install the
5-point bracket due to my wiring had to be moved to make room. Also,
standing almost on your head while putting it in with the cockpit already
done makes you want to go on diet. And age could be a factor too. At 63 I
am not as flexible as once was. But I got it done just the same. My friend
installed his early on and it was a much simpler task.

Just my experience, I too use the Hooker harness with my 5-point and did
just a bit of filing on the harness to get an easier slip in fit. I did not
have to rework anything with the Van's bracket installation. But, it is a
tight fit and I guess that is better than one that is loose. I installed
mine about 2 years ago and maybe something has changed with the bracket or
the belt since then. Having the belts beforehand could help ensure a
trouble free install. You just need pick the color and come up with the
money sooner.

If you go with the Hooker Harness, don't just blindly follow Vans
plans. I believe that Vans calls for an AN5 bolt but the HH takes
an AN4 sized bolt. If memory works.

And the earlier you can get this in, the better.

Hey Walter....After I had all my cushions upholstered I realised that
you need to cut a hole in the seat cushion for the ball crusher strap to
pass through...I.e it does not go thru the stick slot, you need to cut
another hole is that correct?

Thanks

That's correct. A slot needs to be cut in the seat bottom for the
ball crusher.

Can someone scan a copy of Van's Crotch Strap Instructions for an RV7A (pdf) to me to review?

Your life will be a lot easier if you have the actual belts in hand when

their crotch strap kit did not properly fit the Hooker harnesses I
purchased. Re-working this installation is a bear and can be avoided by
having everything at the start......

Dave,
 
Due to no replies regarding an Instruction Sheet from Van's on the Crotch Strap installation I'm starting to think there are no such instructions offered from Van's.
If I come up with something it will be forwarded to you.

I can do this for the RV9A installation. I didn't respond before
because I assumed that someone with a 7A would. I suspect the
instructions are the same, but I can make no guarantees.

If you want the 9A instructions let me know.
