 | Seats & harness regs for this year Yo, just looking at the regs and I see we need an FIA spec drivers seat, cool, and FIA spec harness, cool, but what's the score with passenger seats and harnesses? It's not 100% clear or am I just being stupid.  |

 Cobra FIA steel tube ones ~£120 will be fine as they are stickered. Regarding the Border seats... If you can prove to us that they are FIA spec, via a manufacturers letter, Sales Brochure or other means then we may be able to pass the seat. EDIT: I carried on looking at that Border website and this may be of interest to Mr MR-Stevo http://www.border.com.tw/news-e.php You may have joyful news from your Taiwanese friends Last edited by PhatBob : 16-02-2007 at 13:11. | |

| what was that meatloaf song?..... you took the words right out of my mouth..... There is a FIA test house in england but as the seat would be scrap after the test it would be a waste Quote:

| A question about seat fixings... It says in the rules... Quote:
This seems a bit odd considering theres no regulations about how the harness is attached to the car. Surely eye bolt spreader plates like the ones sold by DW, http://www.driftworks.com/catalog/im...olt-plates.jpg, are far smaller than the specified 5sq" seat spreader plates and are more likely to pull through the floor. Dont see the sense of it if the harness possibly comes detached from the floor but the seat remains in place. Me =  | |

Mind you it seems every other Drift organisation/championship/series is picking up on our rules and regs in some way and copying them it seems, good to see others following and implementing our standards of safety | |

I sincerely hope that standard seat mounting points are ok though otherwise it means some fairly serious modification to my floor pan. | |
