FIA seat mount measurements

[Chip42]

I think he's grabbing for any/all information he can get, so I'd vote for both.

yes - all i can get to kind of work an average or minimum for various mount types used by FIA homologating seat manufacturers. just let me know the thickness, material, mount type and manufacturer.

much appreciated

These are all side mounts, which appears to be the standard used by most FIA seat manufacturers.

Cobra - Aluminum: 5mm
Momo - Steel: ?mm, Aluminum: ?mm
OMP - Steel: 3mm, Aluminum: 6mm
Racetech - Steel: 3mm, Aluminum: 5mm
Recaro - Steel: ?mm, Aluminum: ?mm
Sabelt - Steel: 3mm, Aluminum:; 5mm
Sparco - Steel: ?mm, Aluminum: ?mm

I'll update as I get more info. I have a inquiry into to Driving Impressions for the Momo info.

wow thanks david!

FIA TL No.12 (8855-1999) is damn near fully side-mount, though manufacturers have been selling more and more dual mount seats - still don't see many lower mount only. from what you have posted it seems that 3mm steel and 5mm Al-alloy are reasonable minima.
