Hi Guys.... Just wanting to know If I was to change my factory seats for a Reclinrble bucket seat does it need to be certed or can people get away with it by using the factory railing?

If you guys can get back to ASAP that would be great....

needs certifying because of the airbags in that seating position

Most of the Altezzas that I have seen don't have air-bags in the seats. If they do, then you can get air-bag cancellers quite cheap. No you will not need a cert, unless you either use other mounting holes than the factory ones, or weld brackets on your factory seats rails to mount your after-market seats. I would recommend using after-market seat rails. I have Jamex reclinables in my Altezza and have Bride super-low rails. Modding the factory rails looks like a bit of a mission :-(

It is not just about airbags being contained in the seat itself, it is also about the one that is in front of you (being in the steering wheel or dashboard on passengers side. One of the criteria LVVTA states for seats is that any vehicle fitted with driver or passenger airbags must maintain the same relative position between the top of the seat cushion of the original seat, and the top of the seat cushion of the retro-fitted seat. This allows the factory fitted airbags to still be effective at protecting you in an accident. rather than snapping your neck if you are sitting too low.

so technically you will need a cert.

check out the LVVTA standards below if you are unsure:

If after reading that you are still not sure, consult your local LVVTA certifier, not an internet board. LVVTA certifier is the one making the decisions, not us ;)
