You need to remove the needle and replace it at the new zero point. Please see picture. Not difficult, but need to be careful while removing it. There is a DIY on the 993 board if you run a search.

 

I have seen them both ways, I plan on putting in a 5 piont in and also leaving the stock belts. I thought the stock belt may get in the way after I do that. Also it is so snug down at the hips I think the stock Female plug would dig in everytime I got in. Got them from Gert Carnenwal, Had to drill out some threads where the pin from the new sliders drops into. Gert sent info on that. They are 993 Gt3 seats so no problem with the brackets.

 

Opps just got what you ment! I thought you were talking about the inboard plug. Yes you are right Ill move the outboard lower belt in to the hole. Im not sure when I put in the 5 point if that will get in the way. Thanks

 

Yes, I was referring to the male end (it's almost impossible to route the female end through the opening. It's how the belts are routed in Euro GT3s which have these seats as options (I also run my belts this way), otherwise the belt will rub on the leather. Not sure if they will conflict w/5 pt belts.

 

Thanks after looking at the I don't think I can keep the stock belts after I instal the 5 points. I will worry about that in the sping after I find a proper roll cage or brace. On order 3 spoke and alum shifter and hand brake. For my future Before and After.............

 

AiRick and Jean, thanks for the help on the gage. Ordered one from FVD. Can't wait! I have aluminum gages and just ordered the silver Tach gage. I hope the color is close enough!? Any thoughts?

AiRick, bitchen seats. How are they comfort wise and ease (or lack there of) of entry/exit. I have also considered these seats as well as doing a rear seat delete, although I have not found a viable option for the latter.

Hi AiRick,

I just joined so my PM priveleges are obviously in the FBI check stage or something. Once I figure it out I hope to have access.. It appears that cash is neeed to post Pics so that will be my next step also.

Yes, I came over a couple of months ago to chat with you about your car sitting in the driveway.

I live down the street and Right at the bottom of the Cul De Sac at 2879 G.P.Ct.

I found a nice 97 TT at TruSpeedmotorcars in So. Cal and have been having a bit of fun driving it around.

I will try and swing over this weekend and say Hi if thats OK. Want to check out all those cool mods in the flesh also.

Mark
