Yeah if memory serves, that's the only way it could work for some reason.
I measured the degree on the substraps and they were right about 20 degrees or so. Valve Float could probably clarify, but I think the belts come up more or less straight through the holes in the seat.

Although the rear bolts just cleared the seat, it was safer to take a few mm off them to be sure (you can just about see that in the pic). Good luck, I'm sure you'll get it all sorted soon.

Yep that's them. They are straight off the Euro GT3 seats and can be ordered individually from Porsche. They are $50-60 each if memory serves. I also just looked at my GT3 that I recently put Euro GT3 (Recaro) seats in. On these seats the sidemount bolts to the slider and sub bar mounts on top not sandwiched under the slider. I can take a pic if necessary.

Funny I just went to the tech website for our local PCA to look around and see what was up.
A guy wanted to install a harness kit into his new C4S for track use by bolting it to the slider tracks as in the GT3 so as not to drill holes in his new car.
Several people pointed out to the questioner that this was against our rules and that the entire harness had to be bolted directly to the chassis (subs, sides and shoulders) and could not use the seat tracks as a mounting point.
So local rules may play a part in deciding how to mount a harness kit.

Thanks for bringing that up Cupcar. PCA racing rules clearly state that sub harnesses should be bolted through the floor. Everyone needs to asses what level of safety equipment they are comfortable with and what the local PCA region requires when they are adding this type of stuff to the car. There are lots of GT3 guys here in Portland who run the sub bar setup, but that doesn't mean it will fly anywhere.

Has anyone else in Australia installed Pole Positions who could share some local suppliers details?

Reading this thread has made me think twice about who I should work with to install Recaro PPs. I could order the southbound item from the UK but the setup is already expensive down here. The importance of a properly attached seat is highlighted in this doc. just released by the Australian Motorsport mob.

It's true that PCA requires that the subs be bolted to the floor
but
John H. makes a good point in this thread about the alternative of using a bar
In addition the fact the the factory uses a bar is an indicator of their feelings.
The big question is , What other reinforcement to the floor mounts and sliders did the factory use on 996/997 that isn't used on 964/993? I sure dunno
