Hey All,
I need help finding the hardpoints for the harnesses. I put off drilling and when it came time to prime and paint it was overlooked. I have the ones at the tunnel drilled however.
If someone could measure theirs and tell me where the centers are for the ones on the side of the fuselage and the ones in the back of the headrests that would be great. I assume the ones in the headrests are centered port to starboard. And the ones on the side of the fuselage; if someone could measure in relation to, say the bottom edge of the door sill and how much forward of the edge of the wing spar entry. I have a Zircon stud finder that will detect metal but I don't trust it completely to find center because of irregular thickness and curvatures make it a little "dodgy". Please help. I was wanting to bolt these in soon. Thanks in advance. BTW, I have an early Classic if that has any bearing.

Troy,
Use this information with a grain of salt as I have the XS model.
On the starboard side I measured 275mm from the window ledge down to the top of the plate. Then 355 down to the bottom of the plate. Then from the back of the seat as seen through the wing spar hole to the near plate edge measured 40mm and 130 mm to the far side of the plate. I measured the plate to be 75mmX 75mm square. These measurements were the same of the port side when measured.
Just for S&G, I used my stud finder and was easily able to find the edges of the top, bottom, and forward side. The only side I had a problem with was the side nearest the wing spar hole because of the buildup of plies for re-enforcement.
Give it a try with your stud finder first, mark the edges, then check with the measurements.

Thanks Duane,
I found the ones in the fuselage. I am comfortable I found center too.
How about the piece in the back of the headrest? Where is the center for the bolt there?

My headrest hard points extend upwards from the seat top 80mm
and measure in 75mm from each side of the head rest to find the
top corner at the 80mm height from the seat top. hope this helps

Troy,
Another way of describing the location of the center of the hardpoint
on the back of the headrest is approx. 40mm up from the deck of the CM
on the centerline of the headrest.
