I am in the process of installing harnesses in my 944S. In my 84 I mounted the lap belts with the same bolts that held down the normal seat belt. In the S the seat belt female end is connected to the seat itself insead of the body of the car. Basically I have two questions:

A) Even though I have a later model, is there still the old tapped hole for the lap belt present on the car behind the carpet?

B) If this hole is not there, where did you guys with later model cars mount your lap belts? Skip I'd be interested to see how you did yours...

For my lap belts, I use Brey-Krause's mounts. They mount to the car using stock bolt locations, and I then just snap the lap belts to them.

Not cheap, but they really are a bolt-in and don't affect normal driving at all. I got mine from OG Racing.

Sam, what year is your 944...or alternatively where exactly is your stock bolt location?

Sam Lin

Mine's an 86 Turbo. I forget the location, sorry - can look in a week.

I don't believe there is a hole present, we mounted my inboard side lap belts through the floor (through a plate). Be careful however as the fuel line runs right through that same area (think its on the d. side).

I drilled a hole near the end of the seat-rail in the rear at the corner where the tunnel flows into the floor. Figured the triangulation there would be strong. Put in an eye-bolt with big 3" backing plate on the outside. With lockwasher, Loctite and ny-lock nut.

A lot of racing groups don't allow a harness connection that bolts to the seat.
