Chapter 8 - Head Rest & Seat Belts

In this chapter you build and install the shoulder support and head rests. You also build all the seat belt and harness attach points. The step is installed. The rear heat duct is built and installed.

Note: I am going to skips steps 2 - 5 until chapter 18. I have two reasons: 1) Since I'm not going to install the canopy hinge until chapter 18 I can't finish the shoulder support until then since at least one hinge bolt goes under the support. 2) I'm not positive I'm going to use the plans headrests yet.

Note: In the end I decided to just do this per plans.
