Upper child restraint anchor still needed?

[onny]

I have a Mazda RX8 arriving in Oz as a personal import in the next few weeks. As with all UK cars, it has the ISOFIX child restraint points as standard.

Is the Upper child restraint anchor still required for the car to pass compliance? or has this changed in the last couple of years to allow ISOFIX and the upper restraint anchor is not longer needed?

I'm not sure if it has the pre-drilled holes or not. I only remembered that I will need to the upper anchor point after I shipped the car. I might ask the UK RX8 forum about this.

I had a quick look and found Supercheapauto sells the anchor kit for $15 so if I'm lucky with the pre-installed holes then this will be a cheap fix.

UK RX8 club came to the rescue. UK delivered cars has the upper anchor pre drilled. So hopefully, I won't have problem with this when it gets checked for compliance.
