I'm certainly expecting to get a 6 point harness on mine!
I would too based on your guide. What kills me is the "a no-cost option" if you only understood how much time, effort & $$$$ I have put into chasing the "Clubsport" package. Enjoy the car is amazing!!!!!

I ordered the plates from Champion, but after seeing your version, I'm begining to second guess the purchase. Not too sure about drilling holes in the chassie. Opinions please.

don't drill in the tub not a good option at all for a street car like the gt3/rs. you can get the plates from RMN22AJR shop and then weld them at a local shop.

Default Sub belts

We are just screwing the eye bolts on the car, as it comes with the screw holes already on floor board; however, the idea of being able to move the seat along with the sub belt mount is a good one. Please provide contact info for this vendor. Also, would appreciate additional pics of the seats, brackets, etc. We are also installing the same seats in cloth. Also, please note GMG rear roll bar/cage does not require any drilling on car.

Thanks!

Thanks,
The Schroth belts provided by Porsche are not installed - they expect Owner to install.

Secondly, Schroth does offer a sub strap bar for the 996 seats. This bar will work on the 997 seats if you mount the seats in the upper position. If you desire the seats as low as possible you need to go to plan "B" as we did.

Call Bob Brooks at DWR if you would like to order - he is a Schroth dealer who understands the "Clubsport" package.

I believe you are referring to warning lights - Air bag light on center console is on and airbag light comes on dash. Go to your dealer to have them turned off.

correction from my last post . Bob is providing the seats . Chris at C2 is making the submount bar and Bob will install before he ships them.
