Default Harness time

Time has come to install harness in my 718 GT4.
Google didn't fine good info on this for 718 or even 981 GT4.
So this is hardware i've got by SCHROTH - too bad it's not red.

Now to the mounting points - the carpet is precut in all places except left lap belt:





I asked from a guy with 981gt4 and has harness to photo mount point if his left lap strap - looks it also didn't have precut hole - i guess i'll have to lift the carpet a bit, find the mounting point and cut the carpet.

Now to the hardware usage thoughts/questions.
Shoulder straps has to be mounted like this :



This is the hardware piece that was supplied:



I wonder what is the reason for this notch?
Anyway it looks like it can be assembled in only one way.
The only thing unknown is whether bolts orientation matters....

Now to the lap and crotch straps - bolts are different length - short ones have thick part at the top, long ones does not so i guess they should be used with those washers.



It looks logical to me that crotch straps are static and don't rotate and lap straps do need a bit of rotation - so short bolts for the crotch straps to the floor, long bolts with washers to the sides.

Any suggestions/comments?

Where are you located? From what I understand the NA cars dont have monting points on the floor to screw the anti sub straps since the clubsport package is not available to us. A sub belt mount is necessary. If you are from NA and you find mounting points under the carpet that would be awesome!

I should get my CMS rollbar and harnesses in the next couple of weeks so I'll follow your thread with interest!

Shoulder straps should mount to the harness bar. Doesn't the clubsport package come with all needed parts and instructions?

I believe there is a bar under the seat that the substraps can be wrapped around

Clubsport package includes reinforced mourning points on firewall, there is no harness bar
