Seat Belts

Hiya all.
A friend and I have recently started to build an Indy each, and most of the questions I have had over the past couple of months have been answered on this forum.
One I have'nt found is about seatbelts, I would like to use a 5 point competition belt with an aircraft or nascar buckle, does anyone know if this is legal for road use and will it be ok for the S.V.A

Ian

this point was raised on another locost site it's all to do with the release mech if memory serves me right he was a fireman and he argued the point that in event of an accident the emergency services don't undo seat belts they cut them off msa/fia standards are tougher than sva standards

if it carries an E mark or bs5324:1960 or bs3254 part1 1988 your ok with 3 point just fit other parts when sva'd
