Hellfire - they look great but aren't they too wibbly wobbly. I'm sure I read somewhere that they are not secure enough for SVA man to be
happy.
Or am I just being a plum. 
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

Paul,
I have Mac#1 seats in mine and many people have passed SVA with similar fibreglasss / carbon shell seats. The SVA problem is if the seatbelt goes
through the slot but rests on the bottom. This means in crash or heavy braking part of the load will be taken by the seat (vertically downwards), and
in this case MrSVA will be looking for some independant test reports or type approval. The key is to ensure the belts dont touch the slot and load the
seat in this way - ie careful attention to rear belt fixingheight (which is also part of the manual).
Hellfire - those seats look great. Carbon insert is a classy touch. I also like your petrol filler idea. I dont want to have mine on the rear panel -
can i borrow your idea for inspiration? Anything to be careful of for SVA? (U2U me so i dont hijack this thread - cheers).
HTH,
Darren.
