ADR 5/05 - Anchorages for Seatbelts

The function of this Australian Design Rule is to specify requirements for belt anchorages so that they may be adequately secured to the vehicle structure or seat and will meet comfort requirements in use. So for seat belt anchorage points, this will have to be something determined with the help of the engineer, especially as how the engineer will have to be happy with the safety side of things. I downloaded the FIA regulations and according to them, the anchorages to be approved for racing must be 3mm steel plate welded to a supporting member of the chassis or suspension. I would think that if i followed the logic of the FIA, then i wouldn't be far from getting it right.
