too much stress my friend. Take the money you were going spend to get a nut re-welded, and spend it on beer and womenz?

Maybe you missed all the replies in this thread?


Go back and reread them.... I'll give you a hint, The seat mounting points are stronger than they need to be to pass testing...

Your info has been awesome. I really appreciate everyone passing through the info. I was just worrying more than I should. Anyone would look at the threads and not even notice, i'm sure now that its fine and I will have no worries putting the interior back in and cruising and take the "beer and womenz" advice on funds re-allocation haha

Thanks all

As the others have said, it should be fine. The forces involved in the ADR tests aren't anywhere near as high as you may think. The seat mount (depending on vehicle type) is tested with a force of 10g @ the CoG of the seat frame. In otherwords 10 times the weight of the seat. The seat belt mounts are tested at 675daN for the torso section of the belt, and the same force for the lap section. All these forces are applied at the same time and must be held for a minimum period of time. The deflection of the seat structure is measured throughout the test and as long as it doesn't exceed the maximum limit, it passes.
