You know you don't need to fit the passenger seat to go through SVA..... (good thing in my case as I wanted to fit quick release harnesses post SVA and only wanted to buy one "normal" harness just for SVA)...

They made me "disable" the passenger harness captive nuts in the chassis to prevent someone adding a harness and seat after SVA. They were happy with a 7/16UNF bolt chopped flush with the end of the threaded section of the captive nut. Of course I had to cut a slot in the end of the bolt to screw it in.... and I used lots of copper slip to get it in.... and shortly afterwards I had to take the bolt out again to gain access to something.... and shortly afterwards I fitted a second seat and QR harnesses all round

I'd be careful about removing the passenger seat for SVA, does the reg doc's say how many passengers you can carry?? You might find your self uninsured etc if this is the case and you fit one latter.

I would get a fellow local builder or a mate, to double check all fixings bolts etc before going on a track or out prior to a SVA, you'll be suprised what another set of eyes can see, it doesnt matter how long you look and double check things, you'll always miss something!

Better to spot it before flying round than being sorry after!
