cobra monaco pro seats FIA status
i bought some a few years ago for my car, but decided against using them, so deciding to move them on. never fitted, but one has been in the garage so
a bit dusty, but how do the FIA dates work?
this is the markings i have on them
 
Description
i'd like to get most of the money back, but i guess thats depending on how much FIA use there is in them?
also got the side mounts for them, currently selling for about £460 for the pair (inc side mounts) on merlin motorsport 
if anyones interested in them for a race/rally/track car, give me a shout. will stick them on ebay eventually,really need to pay of the card i bought
them on lol

thats probably about right. think i got them in the feb, so how long are they FIA valid for? is it like 3 years from manufacture? 5 years? or is it
when the acceptable standard changes, so when FIA8855-1999 changes to something like 8856-2011 or something?

The Blue Book should tell you - http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/msa_forms/bluebooks/11/152-190%20Competitor%20Safety.pdf
Sorry but it's way too late for me to try and understand it!

I dont think seats are like harnesses, the dates dont expire. the FIA8855 1999 standard is still current. I dont even think there are many
series/dispiplines that require the fia approval, they just need to be fit for purpose. There is certainly no mention of dates in the bluebook.

work... has some cut from steel to weld up, but don'tknow if i'm convinced its a good idea. i'm a bit lost with the whole thing lol
