Default Schroth Harness in Orange

Does anyone know if where to source the Schroth 6 point harnesses in Orange ala the Clubsport Package?

Given the car is Lava Orange with an Orange roll bar and Orange stitching, I would prefer Orange over Red or Black.

And for what it's worth, if not available, would you go with red or black in the car as described above?

I think Schroth only makes the GT3 belts in Black, Silver, Blue and Red. IMO, i'd either try to match the stitching, or just go black.

I'll share my experience. I had yellow belts on my RS. They get dirty very quickly. My race harness was black. IMHO only one of them should stand out.

I believe the belts on the OEM clubsport package is red, per the Porsche website

check out Safe craft, they have a whole bunch of really cool colors, and their tighten/loosen mechanism is THE BOMB. MANY if not MOST endurance racing teams that need to do quick drivers changes are now using safe craft because of the ease of adjustment...

BTW. If you order Schroth Belts be sure to get the HANS Belts... They are narrower at the top and it fits better on a HANS.

Also I'd recc Black on the Orange Car.. Red would just look off IMO.

most belts for Hans are now 2" for the entire shoulder belt... no longer "stepped"

Good to know.. In the picture above they are the wider style.

Default schroth harness

I am digging into this a little and have heard that the Schroth GT3 belts DO NOT fit our 991 GT3 and 991GT3RS cars properly and that I need to buy a four point harness and separate add-on sub-belt system to make it fit properly.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

In other words, these are not the right belts.

No, they fit. At least for the 991 GT3.

When I ordered mine, the schroth rep for the race shop I ordered from said the same thing. Their solution was a profi II Hans that they custom made with the steel bracket sewn into the lap belt. They look identical to the gt3 belt so I'm not sure how it's different. My guess is that it isn't. They charged me the lower price of the profi II as opposed to the higher priced gt3 belt so I didn't complain.
