This experiment closely follows ASTM D7332/D7332M-07
Background Information:
There are multiple sections of the seat where it requires a fastener put in place to secure a bracket or secure the seat onto the bulkhead. However, since the seat is made of composite material there is risk of damage and potential shear out of the fastener.
The 3 rectangles shown below is an approximate location to where the fasteners will be located to which it is fastened to the bulkhead panels.
...
Similarly, sections of the seat where it will be fastened to either a bulkhead or a bracket is shown below. An L bracket that is welded to the chassis is also used in conjunction to prevent shear out. Image below is pointing to a L bracket that is welded onto chassis and fastened to the seat.
...
On the seat supports an L bracket will be used that is most likely welded onto the chassis tube as well as fastened onto the seat supports. Image shown below.
...
More locations where a fastener is more likely going to be used to fastened to components together.
...
The arrow is pointing at a chassis component of the car that is most likely going to be fastened onto the bulkhead.
