IVA and FIA approved harnesses
PAUL FISHER - 23/1/12 at 04:14 PM

Just ordered my new 6 point harnesses for my Aries from here.

They are the 3" wide aircraft quick release type and they are also IVA approved, good price aswell

if its got a turning release mechanism it wont pass iva. they have to have a conventional buckle

tried it and failed. good luck if you fancy a go.

Ash, check out the wording:

NOW VOSA APPROVED FOR IVA TESTING
Prima Motorsport are proud to announce that after many months of negotiating and diplomacy, we have persuaded VOSA and the Department of Transport that our FIA approved harnesses, homologated to FIA 8853 – 98 are an acceptable standard to pass an IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval [IVA] Manual for Vehicle Category M1 [Passenger Vehicles] with effect from the revision date of 24th May 2010.


These a re a good price. I paid practically that for 2" SABELT ones.

My experiece is that a rotary buckle will pass IVA.

My Aries passed IVA in October with Prima 4 point Harnesses with an aircraft buckle type release.

Also their customer service is 1st class.

Cheers,
Iain

the manual changed in 2010 i think? i'f its FIA approved, its now IVA acceptable, and the FIA approval is as good as any E marking or BS number

Prima are brilliant, they'll make any configuration you need, clip in top, bolt in bottoms, lift up or pull down to tighten, or any combination you need, and the price doesn't change.
