    Post 52 has a great picture of the wag aero installation. I put in a set and are pleased with them. however I did have the headliner out when I installed the clamps. They don't move

    Hooker Harness has an STC for the Champ that approves wrapping the harness around the spar carry-thru and securing it with a three bar slide. Having installed those in a Champ I assumed that is an effective way to do it considering it met the FAA’s criteria. Both of my airplanes have the harness installed that way.

    Just an update on my hooker harnesses install. Wow. Super simple. Done is about 20 minutes. Just measure where you will cut the holes in the headliner. And hope your hands are small enough. Mine were (5'10" 160lbs). Hooker harnesses for me where the H style so four straps, four holes. Quite happy so far. Researching into what I can do with the long tails left after adjusting and such still. IMG_20190119_095244923.jpgIMG_20190119_095231263.jpg

    I don't recall. But I do know that it was very reasonable. Give Scott a call over there. His phone number is on the website and he will answer today. Just called him a few minutes ago

    I called Scott from hooker and he recommends not cutting them in case I want them longer later. Didn't sound like there is a safety issue doing so. But he recommended just rolling it up and zip tying the tails.

    That's what we did. Use a black ziptie and you'll never notice them.

    Black Velcro straps did the trick in my case.
