Rx8/Honda Civic seat and harnesses
I'm thinking of using rx8/honda civic seats in my project, is it acceptable (IVA, MOT scrutineering etc) to run harnesses through the single
seat cutout as in this picture as opposed to the more usual twin cutouts.
Thanks in advance

Provided the seat doesn't make the belts change direction (in which case the seat counts as a support) then I think it would be fine. I'm
assuming you're using a 3 point harness?
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Yeah that's pretty much it - at least not to any great extent. Here's the bit from the IVA:
Note 10: The effective belt anchorage is the actual anchorage point to the vehicle unless a change of direction of the belt to the wearer is produced
by a fixed intermediate device, for example, a belt guide fitted to the upper part of a seat back.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.
