Installed Crow 5 point Safety Harnesses ( Part # R40004P ) purchased earlier via Abby at Flightline Interiors. I received 6 replacement "Tangs" with 5/16" holes at mounting points after contacting Fred Crow - to match Vans instructions and dwgs using their provided bushings. Probably could have used the original w/ 1/4" holes, but prefer matching Vans plans per Sect 42-06. They were easy to replace. Waiting to install Crotch Straps (which actually did have 5/16" holes to match AN5 bolts) until I'm ready to install Seat Ramp Covers - per Sect 42-02, Fig 1 & 2. Starting to install Exhaust system. Per 48-04, drilled out LP-4 rivets on right side to install Right Vent Assembly (ie cover) per Fig 1. Engine mount tubes makes this difficult (Vans should insruct this step PRIOR to adding engine mount, etc !). Used 90 deg angle drill for one, but other needed 11" extension also. Gonna be real tight to blind rivet soon...but seems do-able.

| Crow harnesses mostly installed. |

| Poor access required 90deg AND 11" extension to drill out rivet. Seems Vans should have you do this well prior to adding engine mount and engine! (vs during exhaust install) |
