Default Anyone installed OMP seats?

Just wondering how they fit in a 964 and if anyone has used their side mounts and sliders.

thanks

If it is any help, I saw a 993 with OMP seats installed using OMP aluminum mounts but I don't know which OMP seats they were.

Thanks Marc. The problem, and I don't think it matters what brand the seat is, is finding the bracket that allows you to retain use of the stock seat belts along with the harnesses. It's tight on the transmission side so a cleverly designed bracket in there would do the trick. I'm searching around for the Recaro one right now. Did you see that 993 at the track?

Chris,

Yes, the 993 was an instructors at RaceCity (Calgary).

I bought the Recaro seatbelt bracket at EBS Racing.

I am using the second one pictured to attach the harness to the inboard mount and the third one to retain use of the stock seatbelts for road use.

Thanks Marc. I'm assuming the only reason you didn't attach both the harnesses and the stock belts to mount #3 is so you could take the harnesses out when you're not using the car at the track? It's good to know that bracket will fit next to our tranny tunnel, it's tight in there.

No, sorry. I got that wrong.

I meant that the second was used for the OUTBOARD harness mount (to the stock seatbelt mount site) and the third one to retain the inboard seat belt. The inboard harness is attached to #3 using the shorter version of #1 -- make sense?
