Herb,
Mary & I have flown 1968 T337C's with BAS inertial reel shoulder restraints for the last 6 years, and they're comfortable for me. Mary complained of them rubbing against her neck, so she made little sheep skin sheathes which attach via velcro, and now finds 'em comfortable. If you're around 6 feet tall, they should be OK.
Apparently BAS got the STC for T337C's during recent years, so they can now be installed on that basis. They're inertial reel - a definate advantage over non-extending shoulder harnesses, and have two straps, which is probably better than one diagonal strap at preventing one's upper body from going through the instrument panel on impact. Is the Cessna kit inertial reel?
