Is this ok for MOT?

ISSUE 1: I fitted a single seat replacing the bench on my mk7 transit. With the base for the single seat, it makes the seat unbalanced so I made this metal riser plate to fit under the bolt holes to get it level. It's 4 strips of 3mm steel, welded together. Very sturdy. Will this be ok? Bolts screw in fine.

ISSUE 2: I am now using the seat belt mount that came with the single seat, instead of the floor mounted one that was used with the bench, as it seemed a bit too far away. As the single seat is technically a driver's seat, I swapped the seat belt mount from it's natural side (NS) to the other side (OS). The other type of belt mount (pictured) is now on that side but the little metal piece that should go in the hole (to keep it at a consistent angle) doesn't line up. I also cut the little metal piece off the seat belt mount (pictured) as it would snag on the other side and not allow me to bolt it in at a good angle. Basically, will this be a problem for the mot? the fact that the little metal piece doesn't slot into that hole?

Cheers!

You do know the drivers seat base is the same as a passenger one and bolts into existing holes left by bench seat

im made to believe as long as the seat is solid and the seat belt is fixed to a structural point and works ok it should be fine. call in to a mot garage and ask them ,they will tell you

Yep, that's what I've done. No new holes drilled, just using existing ones

That's the impression i've had too. I've looked at the MOT guide and it nothing seems to mention using anything between seat bases and bolt holes so hopefully will be ok. Cheers buddy

As long as seat is secure with no movement it should be good
