Seat belt mounting instructions

[Phokaioglaukos]

The Schroth manual is excellent, but note that FIA has published a new standard for advanced seats. You can find it listed at the very bottom of this page: http://www.fia.com/en-GB/sport/regulatio...dards.aspx

At the BMW club's instructor training school a couple of weeks ago we discussed this standard at length. The big difference is not so much the head and shoulder restraints built into the seat but the new geometry for the sub straps. They must wrap back around the thighs. My Porsche seats have the hole for the sub straps too far forward to permit this geometry, although it does permit the geometry that Schroth requires. My next seat will meet this new FIA standard. Currently there are only a couple of seats made that do.
