Are there any existing approvals for the Hooker shoulder harness in the PA-12?
Shoulder harnesses can be put in as a minor alteration, just a log book entry. There is an FAA document that states that.

So I must assume there are not any.What I am looking for are existing approvals such as: STC's, PMA's and older field approvals.
This is true so long as the mechanic follows all of the listed requirements and does not violate any of the restrictions.any aircraft manufactured before a recent date - including the PA-12 - can have a logbook entry shoulder harness.
Wireweinie, There is a big difference between "Replacing seat belts." and altering the seat belt installation to include additional belts. No FAR43 Apendix A does not support adding a new style style shoulder harness. It only supports replacing the original belts with approved like replacements.
Dgapilot, would you please tell us the title of the document you are referring to?
This is indeed an unusual thread. Highly entertaining.
Don't forget this policy statement issued by the FAA.
Wag Aero has no stc'd shoulder harness for the PA-12.Wag Aero has an STC. They use a 1/8" steel plate and an AN-6 to mount the harness to the center of an .032 steel tube.
I have never seen any FSDO waste time doing a field approval on a minor alteration and I wouldn't expect them to!A FSDO is not supposed to do a field approval for a minor mod.
I've known that all along.And yes, you can buy TSO shoulder harnesses.
They have not answered any part of my very basic question.The info & links on this page should cover all of your questions.

The rear spar carry through in my Cessna has factory installed plate nuts for this purpose. No drilling necessary.The only reason my Cessna's Hookers require an STC is because they're attached with a through bolt drilled into the rear through spar.
