Seat Belt Shoulder Straps too short

Just checking the status out there. My 14 was about number 10 to fly. I was an early builder. I find my shoulder seat belts are too short. My wife and I are not big people 5'6" and 5'9" and slim build. We find we have very little adjustment left in the shoulder straps. When we take friends flying they often cannot fit the shoulder straps into the seat belt buckle.

I feel the wire strop connecting the shoulder straps supplied in the kit are too short. Has anyone else had similar experiences. If so it may be an issue that Van's needs to look into. In the mean time I will have to get longer wires manufactured.
 
I think the cable link length was revised very early on.
If you contact someone at Van's, they can probably help you sort it out.
 
Could make extension out of metal that is used on the rudder pedals.
Couple of an-3 bolts.

That will help to new parts get down under.
