Default Need help installing stock seats.

So I'm pulling the buckets and installing the stock seats. I don't know where to bolt the stock seatbelt to. Is it the bolt that holds down the roll bar or the hole? If it's the hole, then I need hardware and I think it's gotta come from a bolt store and not Porsche. I can't remember what I had it bolted to when I had the stock seats and roll bar back in the day.

I have the same roll bar and I don't think the seat belt attaches there or at least on that side of the roll bar mounting point. ...but I really cannot remember. I can take a photo tonight or friday.

Do you mind taking a photo of the hardware (bolt and washers) used for mounting the seatbelt to the bucket. I just posted about this and I'm trying to verify what parts I need. Thanks

You're almost there. You're missing one small very thin flex washer. You can pretty much bend it in half with one hand. It's used to allow the belt anchor hole to rotate easily, while still providing some friction. My picture doesn't show the larger fat washer that's in your picture but I have that one too. It was stuck to my seatbelt and fell under the car. I have yet to retrieve it. Maybe tonight.

So it's four pieces, 5 if you count the cap.
