Or how about if I hook it over the roll bar like so? Rescued attachment seat belt roll bar.JPG

The car i've got failed SVA because the top mounts weren't high enough, think they have to be 450mm above the top of the distance piece they sit on your seat.

If you sling it over the roll bar it will be measured from there but it may fail then as the mounts are not pulling in shear on the bolts. It may be down to a testers interpretation.

Thats what i've done, though my bolts are in shear because they are mounted 90degrees to yours on the back of the seat panel.

What a thoroughly bloody good idea!
Might do it that way myself.

Cheers,
