3 days in to owning my red beauty I today placed an order for a Sparco EVO, and Sabelt 6p harness. A Heigo cage is on it's way too.

I am trying to find the best (least drilling) way of mounting the harness down under the seat and stumbled across this part;

996.521.933.90 Cross member 6 point seat belt.

Anybody know if it will work under the mentioned seat (with sparco sidemounts)?

I bought the B-K equivalent and with Recaro mounts & sliders it would not fit. YMMV

I used the GT3 bar w/ Recaro sliders and side mounts, it works fine.

FWIW I have a set of the BK harness mounts (9005-1) available if it turns out you need them.

There was chatter over similar on the 997 GT3 forum, so it's fresh on my mind. My very robust, though self-made, slider mount didn't fare so well when I wrecked RSA #1 in a race. Thankfully I had a rear impact; the crappy seat back brace held everything in place.

And there is no way I would put not drilling holes ahead of proper belt mounting. That said, you do have the outer anchor available at the stock 3-point attachment.

I got the 9030 mount pictured below (for the 996) as I had read it fit - it did not. Now there is a 9035 for 964's that might work better (not available when I went though harness mounting a few years back).

FWIW, many sanctioning bodies frown on using the same bolts holding the seat in to mount the belts too which is essentially what these bars do - check before buying and installing.

Did you have to relocate the Ecu under the seat to clear the sub bar?
