I was just pricing shoulder harnesses out and Cessna sells a complete kit, including both lap belt and shoulder harness for both pilot and co-pilot, with all new hardware for around 300 dollars (Canadian).

IIRC, Cessna told me this kit fits all serial numbers.

Can you provide more information, such as part number or kit number?

I will get the kit number and post it tomorrow.

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?

Service kit number is sk337-55a2. Double check with Cessna for applicability. This is pilot and copilot seat. No inertia reel as far as I know.

The inertia reel seat belts are about $600 each from Cessna.
