Hi Steve
That is correct isn't it? The pulley is mounted on spacers to bring it in
towards the centre of the tunnel, and the seat belt attachment point goes
underneath the pulley. I think that this is done to prevent the rudder
cables from fouling on the tank or sides of the cockpit module. The
reason I remember this is because I made the same assumption as I think
you are making, however, if you look from the back of the AC towards the
pulley, you will see that they have to be spaced in on order to clear.
Take care
Eddie
