This question is for a SS7 build.

I have the seat pans secured in place with the nutplates and I am about to cut the pan for the seat belts. The measurement that is called out for the lap belts just does not look right as the belts seem too high coming through the seat pan. I think we want the lap belts to come across my lap and not the stomach area. So am I not measuring right or did others cut the pan a bit lower for the lap belts?

I have also come to find the shoulder belt tabs welded to the fuselage were not drilled at the factory for the bolts, the manual says to ream the holes if needed, no mention about needing to drill the tabs for the bolts, anyone else have this in their build?
