New Lap Belt?

Post by reecewallace »

Hi all,

My 170b just went through its first annual, and my mechanic informed me I need new lap belts for my shoulder harness system as they are wearing out.

These are the only pictures I have of my set up...

Is anyone able to inform me on which lap belt exactly to order from ACS?

Thanks

Have you asked your inspector which belts he will approve-of?

You just need to find belts that have the same fittings for attachment to the airplane and to the shoulder harnesses. ACS is always good, but Wag-Aero also has a good selection of belts and harnesses.

Another option is to have your belts re-webbed, using your existing fittings.

Reece, these appear to be similar to the ones you have. (Now is the time you can change color also if you wish.)
