Service Bulletin 69
I opted for the 'weld up' option, and everything is open and exposed, and its lighter. Plus I wanted to do the gear truss (welded) upgrade, so might as well go all in.
The short version of this SB.... in the forward seat position, the angle of the belts is not ideal. This doesn't really apply to me (with the seat all the way back), but figured I might as well do it.
There are 4 components to the upgrade:
1. Center post that is welded into the centre truss. Provides the inboard lap belt tie in.
2. Outboard mount points (x2)
3. New (longer) seat belts.
The first part of the upgrade is pretty simple, as it almost centers itself in the centre truss.
The outboard mount points are a bit trickier, as they are in 2 parts. One is a plate with a sleeve, and then a 2nd plate gets welded on after.
As per usual, once everything is located you need to gently remove the paint, and prep everything for welding.
Once everything is prepped, I used weld through primer on all the surfaces that you won't be able to get to after the fact.
And all finished....
