Gene you are correct. After further contact with Airplane Spruce they
clarify that the belts are certified to FAA TSO-C22f but in fact do not have
TSO tags. This is not going to solve my problem. Cessna Pilots Association
has pointed me to ABI out of Kemah, Texas. I just gave them a call and they
will provide belts with the tags I need.

Additional checking on my part today. One of the rear belts still has a
tag
so I assume the front ones must have also had one at some point in time.
I
checked with Aircraft Spruce today and they sell "FAA Certified Personal
Restraints" for about $ 35.00- $ 50.00 each. That's the route I'll go.

Thanks for your responses,

You may not be in any better shape unless they have a TSO tag on them.
Aircraft Spruce specifically does not provide an FAA-8130 and the form
is available only with an upcharge of $25-$75 and a possible delay in
delivery.

They provide their own "Certificate of Conformance" which may or may
not satisfy the situation and/or your IA.

The FAA often catches installation of "FAA Approved" stuff that isn't
approved for *that* airplane. It is up to you and your mechanic to
verify that "FAA Approved" article isn't an "authentic replica."
