Any hints for material for seat belts and how to make the buckels |

If you look at moostang51's BF 109 build he used 3/16 ribbon for seat belts and very thin plywood to carve out buckels. I used paper clips bent in the shape of an S for the buckels on my DR1 and some light canvas material from an old ammo bandolier for the belts. |

Great work on the seat by the way. |

Jedi, This looks great. I use masking tape cut to size and folded to double thickness for belts. Seat belts are wider than shoulder harness. Thin aluminum from photo etched scrap makes belt hooks and buckles. A fine lead pencil makes stiching on belts. |

Remember, when you are finished all you can do is look at it! Reaching the goal is great, but the fun in getting there is what it's all about. |
