John Hetherington had a few problems at IVA that nobody else seems to have encountered.

He had a picky tester as you can see from his IVA write up.

Heres a link to his build log

One of the issues that you should be aware of is the mounting height above the seat base.

This is sometimes misread from the IVA guidance as 450mm.

It is a bit more than this because of a block placed on the seat which moves the top mounting point requirement dependant on the seat base angle. The block is 53mm heigh and 136mm long.

In reality it moves the required seat mounting points to above 503mm height but you should check the IVA manual. Or look for my response to Macramsays post Iva Seatbelt Upper Anchorage

 

The problem with shoulder straps through a seat at the IVA station I use (Norwich) was to just loop the belts round the seat not through the seat for the test.

In reality you should dummy mount the seat, do the calculations about seatbelt height and check where the mounts should be to not rub the straps on the seat.
