I've got some GRP ones I don't want. I don't know how you're supposed to sit in them but I can only just fit in them and I'm built like a rake. If you want them they'll certainly be cheap!

What is the SVA reg you are concerned about ? is your harness really low or something ? which bit if it do you mean ?

My harness upper anchorages are on the chassis rail, so just from floor level I only have about 12mm spare before I'm over the sva limit
the anchorage must be at least 450mm above this point. so for my chassis, (and all book chassis) without a seat fitted, if I put the said block straight onto the floor, because that is horizontal, its forward corner will be 53mm high, so the anchorage must be 450mm above this,53+450+503mm, if I measure virtically from my floor to the top of my back rail I have 520mm.

so I have 17mm to fit my seat
