Attaching Scroth inertia reel shoulder harness

[harry harper]

Just took delivery of a set of Scroth inertia reel set belts with the "y" shoulder harness. Poured over old posts about the subject.
I've got an Aviat non enertia reel set in my 91 A-1.
Still not quite sure how to attach the front reel base to the V overhead. There is nothing on the V to bolt to except the legs of the V tubing and a short cross pc that the stock shoulder harness loops around.
Cubcrafters has a pretty elegant looking clamp/plate arrangement for $50 that looks promising.
Not sure if the plate holes will align with the reel frame holes but should be workable.
Suggestions? Even pictures?

Got a set from Scroth US in Florida.
From the old posts re this harness I ordered part # 1-09-E 53301.
It has the U shaped upper shoulder harness end where it comes out of the inertia reel.

Paid just over $1000 US shipped to my door in Idaho. Which is up significantly from prices several years ago.
Possibly a better price for two?
I only needed one.
The stock Aviat belts were the only truly annoying thing in my old A-1.
This Scroth belt is superb!!

My stock belts are a pain when trying to reach the flap handle, how did you get your new belt attached to the cross tube? Any pictures would be great. Thanks!

I designed a set with Schroth that has you pull up to tighten, which is easier than pulling down in the tight cockpit of the Husky. I ended up getting a set from Aviat. Kind of wish I had gone with the direct buy from Schroth. Here is the design number for the pull up version:

Kent the question for us A-1 owners is: for the front seat reel, what is the reel base attached to up in the V?
The A-1 only has smooth tubing and the smaller diameter short cross tube.

Oh yeah. Same on the C model but it also has a tab welded in with a hole in it for the bolt.

Make a filler that fits in the V . Can be hard multyi layer Wood. Larger Plate in the bottom with a hole dir the reel and the reel gies in top

Fabricated a thin steel plate and secured it to the V tubes with cool tube clamps from Cubcrafters. Attached the reel base on the bottom side of the plate. The clearance between the reel and the skylight was neglible if mounted on the top side of the plate.
