Seat harness holes higher then harness mounts
My harness mounts on the top chassis rail are high enough to comply with the SVA regs but my harness holes in the seats are higher still so the belts
go up to the seat then down to my shoulders. Will this pass?
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

I think it might depend whether there is any prssure on the seat between your shoulders and the mount. For my SVA I had to belt up and the tester told
me to push forwards, then back.
I think the answer is to put the straps round the edge of the seat for the test

Good idea!
The only reason I had the harness holes in though is because I'm very small so I don't think the harness would stay over my shoulders.

Are the seats on Runners,
If they are could they be bolted straight to the floor so the belts would go level or down through the holes.
Thats what we had to do for the SVA

This si one area where you need to consult the book. There are specified heights measured from a point on the seat that dictate the correct harness
heights etc. If the belt rests on bottom of slot then it is a fail. i think the only way round this is if the seat is type approved.
Strange thing is the book doesnt take real life and different driver heights into consideration.
