Hi Scott,
I don’t see any reason why Andy needs consulting on a very simple mod like this, as long as they are welded in properly. Actually fitting twin harness lugs would improve the load distribution in the cross-bar in the event of an accident.

People on this forum have come up with some very sensible mods for the Tornado chassis and I will be following some of these on my build. This includes welding seat frame cross straps, so that the seat isn’t bolted a thin sheet of aluminium (not very good in an accident). To get these cars registered in the UK, SVA regulations states the following: ‘Seats are required to be secured firmly to the chassis or other obvious load bearing parts of the vehicle structure’.

It will be worth considering now how you are going to meet your local regulations.

Regards
Andy
