No, that means deviated stitching is only available as an Exclusive option during the production of the car. It is not available on subsequently ordered parts.

IIRC, the only attachment at the seat assembly was the anchor. The lab belt attachment was at the chassis right at the back of the seat slider.

If someone finds a way to kill off the never ending seat belt chime -I'd like to know too. Seems to be the same on all the 2004's irrespective of model.

thanks for the clarification on the factory stitching, i suppose if someone really wnats it, a custom upholstry shop can do it. not for me though.

Bob, if you always use the 6points when driving yuor GT3, why not get just the 'buckle' and put it in the hole always.

that way the car always thinks the belts are in.

Low tech but works like a charm. I believe that Audi, VW and BMW all use the same seat belt hardware, or simiiar enough.

related question: didnt want to start a new thread:

does porsche make a 6point harness (tequipment/porsche motorsport)? if not, what is the defacto choice in the aftermarket?

There have been some recent discussions about harnesses with some built in stretch zones that are not considered compatible with a HANS type device. IIRC, the tequipment harness has this stretch property. A consideration if you're going to employ a head and neck restraint system in the future.

Be safe.

thanks viken / jim h

i guess i will go with all tequipment parts.

Hi Moogle,
One thing I learned today, from Austin at Devek, is that there are 2 versions of the Schroth 6-point harness. One version, the "standard" one, has the cam in the sub-belt, and the lap and shoulder straps are 3". An alternative has the cam on one of the lap belts, which are only 2". It allows for relatively easy hitching up with just 4 belts, say for a quick zip around the hills, without having to cinch yourself down in the sub-belts. Might be more friendly for a passenger as well. Plus, they're roughly $50 cheaper. I went for those.
Just FYI.

for what its worth, when i had the GT3 seats/rollbar/6pt harness installed in my 05 GT3, i had them thread the 3 point belts through both holes, they fit fine , even with the 6 point harness
