hey hey,

I think i may have an issue , i need to take a look at the iva manual but what do you chaps think. basically i think i may have mounted my seats to low to mount my harness on my roll bar ?

if this is too low, do you reckon i could weld a hefty device to go between the upper cockpit chassis rails sb summat summat and the other sb summat :)

Ta!

Rather than using the harness holes, just take the harnesses around the outside of the seats. The seats would no longer become structural in the event of a crash.
Gets you around the IVA implications.
Check the manual for minimum heights ect.
