Racing seat/harness Qs. Bride?

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

People with Bride seats, or any other FIA approved seat like the Zeta 3 have a slot for the submarine belt?
I am tired of my old POS Sparco and I am looking for a better seat. In the near future I plan to install a cage or roll bar and run a harness. NASA proracing only will allow a 5 or 6 point harness if you are going to have one at all, so the seat has to have provisions for that 5th belt.
I am wondering if a seat can get an FIA approval without being able to accomodate the latest in safty gear, or if FIA approval is just an issue of strength/crash worthy-ness.
I have not been able to find any info on the internet about different seats and wether or not specfic models have that submarine belt provision.

I have a Recaro Pole Position, it has a hole for the submarine belt and is fia approved.

all the BRIDE buckets ive owned (zetaII, Zeig, Maxis) and my friends seats (Zeros, ZetaII Type-L, ZetaIII) have all had the sub slot in them

Thanks guys. I have been looking at the Sparco Corsa, because I know that Sparco has the slot. I was also wondering what my options are. I like the Bride seats, but like I said I can't tell from the picture if the seat has the provision.
Kinda sounds like I am safe with any FIA seat, but of course I would check with the seller before buying if I end up buying over the internet.

can u not read what i said??

Yes I can.
I should have typed: COULDN'T tell by the pictures. I meant to imply that I liked the Bride because they are a known good, but before the replies to this query I could not tell by the pictures. Additionally I am still looking at other options.

if you are going to race NASA, here's a tip. Don't get Bride, especially when only recently they got a FiA certification. Only if it's the maxis or gardis. Newer Recaro's (Profi-SPA damn feels nice). www.speedwaremotorsports.com

Why? If its FIA its FIA. Are you thinking that a tech shop might not like it because they had not seen one before, or not on their list?

the new ZETAIII is FIA approved

[sideview_180sx]

would you take something that meets FiA standards, or exceeds them??

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

Exceeds them of course. Is this a trick question? Are you trying to say that a new Bride just makes it as FIA approved? Please clarify your point.
