never a dull moment in the Jagger household .........
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Jase,

The rules for reinforcing plates are covered in the National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification Section LK Seating and Occupant Protection (often referred to as NCOP). NCOP is virtually identical to the requirements of ADR4 and ADR5 for seatbelt mounts.. There is also some additional information in VSB5B (the National Code of Practice Standards Bulleting 5B Construction and Installation of Additional Seats by Individuals).

The NCOP guidance on reinforcing plates requires:
• the plates to be made of mild steel,
• the surface area of the plates must not be less than 3750mm2 and have a thickness of 3-4.5mm (1/8-3/16”). This means you can make the plates any shape you want (not just 50x75) as long as they have enough surface area. Handy for getting plates into slim areas like the B and C pillars. Note that VSB5B allows not less than 75mm x 50mm x 3mm (3750mm2), but requires the plates to be no thicker than 4mm,
• the plates must be contoured to fit the vehicle body,
• the plates must have a minimum 5mm corner radius with the plate edges closest to the body chamfered.
• the bolts used must be 7/16” UNF SAE Grade 8.

Cheers,
Harv
