Safety & Maintenance Information
The RaceQuip FIA Composite Seat is a precision-engineered safety component. To ensure it meets sanctioning body requirements, it must be installed using appropriate high-strength side-mount brackets. Regularly inspect the 8mm mounting bolts to ensure they remain properly torqued. To clean the fabric, use a mild upholstery cleaner and avoid saturating the internal foam. Always check the FIA hologram for the manufacture date to ensure compliance with your series' rules. This seat should be replaced immediately if it is involved in a significant impact, even if no visible cracks appear in the gelcoat finish.
