What would you do ?

Sorry, couldn't help it 

We are remembering aren't we, that the seat belt mounting is on a box section? The strength in the design being from the shape of the whole thing and of course being intact, right? A blooming great gap ripped into it will compromise the prescribed area. Fail. In my opinion.

the load bearing area is the box section of the inner sill the rfr fracture would imply the load bearing structure ie inner sill box section breaking apart ie fractured but the question would a tear on outersill cqarse the inner sill box section to be weakened if you removed all of outer sill would it weaken the structure i would pass and advice because a tear is not a fracture

I'll add them up & let you know when everyone is finished contributing 😊

Continuity is what you need especially in prescribed areas,good old impact like this has had and stretched the metal to the point of breaking open,therefore the metal has fractured,any fracture in a prescribed area is a fail

According to the book - yes. 🤗

Even Dynamo agreed. 😲

So back into appendix c4, what's deliberate modification ie, ice cream van transit cuts a hole in the step and sticks a big horn blower through it all within a prescribed area, pass and advise if it's not overall strength of seatbelt mount etc it all gets rather silly that allows the normal customers who knows little about prescribed areas do what they want???

I wrote it LOL
