Also the anchor bolts are provided by Schroth with the harness kit. They supply plates to anchor through the tub of the car. We did not want to penetrate the tub, and on the driver's seat you have an issue with electronics below the seat.

Also, I post info on this site to help fellow Rennlisters, due to the fact we all don't have they same resources and we are here for information.

I would probably do the same thing for my RS when it arrives if I didn't spend so much $$$ on my Cup car.
I appreciate the info you provide here!!

thanks again. my question is regarding the plates you welded to bolt the front feet of the roll bar to. are these studs welded to the plate or are they bolts going through the plate with the bolt head sandwiched betwen the floor and the plate? if the latter how did they account for the bolt head thickness to make the plate flat with the floor.
thanks.
thanks.

Then welded plates to tub of car, painted with white paint and orange overspray to match factory plates.
Then installed bar with nyloc nuts.

That's very strange. The UK brochure states:
Clubsport package: Standard on the new 911GT3 RS, a no-cost option on the 911GT3, the Clubsport package provides additional protection during trackday or competition use. Included with the package are a bolt-in rear roll cage behind the front seats,a six-point racing harness in red for the driver’s side (not fitted),a fire extinguisher with mounting bracket (not fitted) and a preparation for a battery master switch available from Porsche Motorsport
I'm certainly expecting to get a 6 point harness on mine!
