Errrrrrrrrrrrr...
This is gonna sound a little crap, but was thinking of using mini-bus seats and have noticed that some have seat-belts attached. Don't have a
copy of the SVA manual and was wondering what the SVA standpoint would be.
Any suggestions welcome.

How about - get a SVA manual? 
The latest version has several pages of data about seats with fitted belts, which basically comes down to a huge amount of floor bracing to cope with
crash loads.
One thought - most of the minibus seats I've ever sat in have had just lap belts - which wouldn't pass the SVA... or are yours 3-point?
rgds,

my 2001 sva manual says that seats / frames that have integral seat belts must use bolts to secure them to the same std as the belt alone would need
(paraphrased).
Ive used the runners from a granada which also carry the lap buckle (3 point). At this seat mount point there are two 8mm bolts, which would make the
min sva req of a 11mm bolt (if i rememeber).

The belts are three point, but i've just passed them up and bought some foam to make my own. Think it'll be easier. Thanks for the help
though.
