Hey guys I'm jus wondering, in the blue book says 5.3.2. The seat must be rigidly located within the compartment and must not tilt, hinge or fold unless it is a production seat fitted with a serviceable locking mechanism preventing independent operation. Don't you for an mot need an adjustable seat? So what do you do for a road legal track car?

Nah, if it's original and slid i needs to function

But a bucket subframe is change of purpose

Ahhh right so if I fit a bucket on a fixed subframe it'll pass an MOT?

It's at the testers discretion, but it should be fine, I think it's more regarding the functionality of OE stuff if it's still there

Ive passed an mot with sliding buckets and harnesses, so its pot luck who you get as a tester imo.
