And what do the plans say?  I looked for seat belts last night and didn't
see it anywhere.   I thought I'd seen someplace to just run a 3/16 bolt
throught the spar cap, period (although that may have been in an old
KRnewsletter, rather than the plans).  There's a shoulder belt "addendum"
put out by RR, and it's located at
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/seat1.jpg and
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/seat2.jpg , and it makes no mention of spar
strength, just assumes it's strong enough.

All I'm pointing out is that before we go crazy designing big beefy brackets
and using huge bolts is that they need to be attached to something that's
not going anywhere.  If you're not worried about 20g crashes (and I'll admit
that I'm not expecting one either), then don't sweat it.  Larry's thin
brackets and small bolts are probably all you need...
