View Full Version : Bucket seat NTMID 8 12-03-07, 17:13 Hey all i was given an OMP race seat by a friend who is going to England. Im thinking of getting it retrimmed (blue) and fitting it into my vl (using standard vl rails) does anyone know what the legalities to this would be? Im also thinking of getting the 3point harness to suit and bolting to the rear seat support between the lower seat base and back rest. E-Z 12-03-07, 17:14 Computer says NO!!!! but yer if they bolt up then if they allign still its legal. well QLD anyway calais_vl 12-03-07, 19:40 Computer says NO!!!! but yer if they bolt up then if they allign still its legal. well QLD anyway i would say it would have to be engineered ben! but why change the calais seat? BT 12-03-07, 20:00 Computer says NO!!!! but yer if they bolt up then if they allign still its legal. well QLD anyway wrong ! if it meets Australian standards it will be fine as certain seats have been tested and are legal and the rest are not . ring up vis and find out if they are Ben .

SPRIGZY 12-03-07, 22:53 its solid so it ilegal.if they recline then they are not. Alsynon 13-03-07, 00:50 ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ Correct, non reclining seats cannot get adr approval. Dunno why but those are the rules. NTMID 8 13-03-07, 07:17 i thought that it was only if they were going into a 2door car? BT 13-03-07, 11:53 its solid so it ilegal.if they recline then they are not. wrong . i had solid sparco's in my turbo 4wd kf laser and they didnt pass them when i went to vis and they were like 800 each seats . but mind u that was 3 years ago so if they have changed it now i dont know .? VLCT88 13-03-07, 14:31 sounds like a sick laser nino.... y did u ever get rid of it???
