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.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.
