Ke11 And New Seats Adr Approval Qld

[camerondownunder88]

Hi,

Been looking into getting new seats for the KE10 of mine.

 

Currently runs really badly installed KE20 items.

 

Don’t want to spend money on re upholstering them and don’t want to re-do KE10 low back items as they are not as safe.

 

So you see in the shops the Autotecnica or SAAS items. Some on the tag say they are ADDR approved.

 

So the ADR in mind is ADR 3.

It tells me it is applicable after years 1971 (using earliest date)

 

Production date on the KE11 is 6 month 1970.

 

So if I was to get a for example ADR approved SAAS seat fit it to the KE10 technically I have UP graded my car as now doesn’t run low back seats and a more modern seat would be a bit safer in design etc.

 

So should I get this mod engineered? I know the police can give grief on these but for newer cars I can see why as airbags etc can be removed.

 

But for an older car is it an as big a deal?

 

Also has anyone experienced fitting these. I see some come with "Universal" mounts and seat tracks and KE1X cars seat mounts are a simple square pattern 4 bolts can’t go wrong.

 

Cheers

Cameron

couple of bits of thick flat bar usually does the trick. cut off or unbolt original rails, drill holes in flat bar and bolt to rails, line up mounts on seat, drill holes in flat bar and mount seat. And don't forget to use nylock nuts when you bolt it all in :) Wouldn't worry about certification or anything just for seats it's a waste of money in my opinion.
