Phase II Completed - Recaro and Harness Install
Spent the past month on the following projects:
Installed Cup Bypass and Cat Bypass (pita but well worth it) Replaced entire carpet with original 964 RS carpet (pita!) Installed AP car design rear bolt-in cage, powdercoated in white with cross bar. Roll bar bolted to the floor and rear wheel arches: http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/dsc02972.jpg Installed Schroth 6 point harness Parts: - Deist eye bolt to mount lap belt to center tunnel (easy) - "Outside" mounting eye attached to original seat belt mount (easy) - BK mount for sub belt mounted between the sliders and seat (pita!) http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/dsc02978.jpg http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/dsc02991.jpg http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/dsc02992.jpg Still need some roll bar padding to hold the shoulder belts appart. Guess I'm done now - just waiting for better weather |
Looks good, I would have painted the Recaro seat backs white too just like the factory RS cars did.

Did the BK sub bars require much modification to get them to fit right? Are you using Recaro sliders?

Care to go into more detail, more pics?? I'm considering the BK9031 bar too. Did a test fit of one seat and don't see how the stock tunnel side seat belt receptacle can possibly fit, maybe if the console is cut down

Thanks!, I have a harness mount on the tunnel like you show on yours, how did you attach the stock seat belt receptical on the tunnel side? I've been trying to use the RS bracket but it sure doesn't fit well(maybe not at all)
The BK 9031 bar doesn't fit between the Recaro sliders? I asked BK about this, they said that you just have to drill the slders for the 9031mounting bolts, Hmmmm??? |
All Porsche did on the RS was add weld in T nuts at the tunnel and the floor for the substrap and center belt. LIke this:
http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/ngt.jpg Why not just fit the hardware circled below in the center tunner where Porsche used the T nuts? http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/deist.jpg |

Ok that's pretty much what I have except w/ factory parts
RS tunnel side stock seat belt mount & washers(black) for height leveling, Recaro flat sliders( http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1229560115.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1229560140.jpg here's a mock up http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1229804000.jpg I also have Recaro sidemounts, but the BKs lower the seat, maybe too much, I'll need to get some butten heads which may give the clearance needed between the seat bottom and the sidemounts. Otherwise it's back to the Recaro side mounts. yes, I have the tunnel mounts for the harness, thought I'd try the clip ons at the stock mount to see how that would work, looks like not too well. |
Bill, the stock center bracket goes between the upper track slider and the seat's side plates on the stock RS with the 928 sliders. This means that seat belt loads are transmitted across the slider set to the floor.
The other 3 seat corners require 8 X 27 X 3 mm spacer washers( part number 999 025 231 03) to space them up to match. This is shown as part #23 in the PET illustration. Also, I am not sure the Recaro sliders you are using are built for these seat belt loads. I would bolt the seat belt mount between the sliders and the floor and use the spacer washers under the track as well. |

I'm wondering if I was sold the wrong side mounts, as there seems to be interference between the sidemounts and the GRP seat base. Grrrrr! I was also hoping that the sub belt bar could be similarly sandwiched |
