Default Seat Belt should be re-webbed or changed

that is not correct as I interpret it. The Gadringer belts in the 27B I
co-own have a 12 year TBO. The JAA data sheet states the time for the
belts (as well as the Tost tow hook) while the data sheet from
Gadringer dictates that the webbing is to be replaced.

Is your 27 experimental or std type cert? If experimental I don't
think you have any legal requirement to comply with the JAA TBO.

Nylon belts that spend most of their life in a trailer will have no
deterioration in 12 years. Rinsing the sweat out of them once a year
will keep them supple.
