What constitutes a "securely mounted" seat pan in a FED?

<< < (3/5) > >>

dreracecar:
No spec requiring tubing to follow contour of the seat.
There may be an issue of the crotch belt hanging below the bottom of the chassis tho

tcoupekyle:
Thank you

Van:
Most cars I have owned and all the cars I've built have a seat strap. This is a steel strip .062 to .125 thick & one to two inches wide. This is welded to the shoulder hoop or the seat belt bar just below the shoulder hoop, the strap then follows the seat contour to the lower seat support bar at the front of the seat and welded to it. I form this strap to the driver then build the seat to follow the strap. The strap adds a lot of support to the seat.

Wouldn't it be easier to move the pedals?

tcoupekyle:
I like that idea van. 

I'd move the pedals but, the housing axle tube is right under my calves if I sit in the original seat.
