IVA compliant buckets
Discussion
Hi guys, looking for a set of IVA compliant fibreglass seats for my exocet build, anyone come across any? The standard ones that can be purchased with the kit don't have harness holes so no good, but I'm struggling to find any specifically marked as compliant. Looking at the manual it all looks giberish to me, so really struggling! Any links or advice on telling the difference would be much appreciated!
For IVA just run the seat belts around the seats
You don't need holes in the seats but if you do have them seat belts should run through them without exerting any force or the seat becomes a stressed item that the tester will consider part of the restraint system
The main points to consider on any kitcar seat is how it is minted and does it have built in head restraints
If on runners it should slide freely when adjusting the seat
Other than that it's not a big issue
Seat belts however have a particular mounting height measured from a specific point from the backrest and above the seat squab
