I have the same seats in my locost and no problems, as long as mountings are above your shoulder height, centres are 140mm from center line of seat. No idea for IVA as different seats used for SVA.

Sorry
 They do look nice... I seem to recall there is/was a kit available for lotus elise seats to add harness holes into them. Might be worth looking into? EDIT: Just seen TSM's reply so I could be talking bollox! Last edited by skov : 5th January 2014 at 05:07 PM.

Dont fit the cross bar untill you sort seats and bear in mind height requirement for IVA/seat belt.

There is an answer to this that might not be too popular but I'm going to say it any way,forget 4 point harnesses and fit inertia reel seat belts.
Reason 1: keep the same seats for IVA and post IVA Reason 2: you sit at the end of a long bonnet in these cars and in 4 point harnesses you can't lean forward to look left past your passenger at junctions Reason 3: have you ever taken a 7 into a pay at entry car park or at the toll booth and had to undo your 4 point belts? Reason 4: one size fits all no need to adjust them for every body that gets in the passenger seat I leave you to mull that little lot over before every body shoots me down in flames...

Reason 6: ...or 10 minutes if you left your helmet/gloves in the passenger footwell and didn't realise until it was too late. Reason 7: Adjusting your passenger wing mirror with your left foot whilst driving might be amusing but is probably neither safe nor legal!

Actually I like the sound of that.
I didn't realise that was possible as harnesses just seem to be the norm. Do you have any info if I were to go that route?Parts needed and where would they be mounted

Isn't there a bit in 'the book' about it?

Oh come on... you don't really want us to spoon feed you all the answers do you? Go and look at how a standard reel belt is mounted and at your build around RS5/6/7/7A and where SB1 joins to BR12 or where SB1 joins to SB3.....
I'm sure you can work some thing out from that.
