Default seat belt.

Larry,

Don't know why you are having a problem.I've got GMG roll bar/cage and mine installed without any interference coming from the factory location of the OEM seat belt.Didn't have to relocate a thing.
Do you have any pictures?

Hey Tom, thanks for the response, I guess I am asking a couple of questions:

1) do you install the OEM belt back in the same location it came from prior
to the bar install (i.e using the bolt that the bar uses) or do you bolt it
to that tab on the lower part of the bar?

2) once you do that, do your seats really slide all the way back?

Thanks!

come on. i have BALD mpsc on a car that's not aligned for over a year. it's ok. not many walls to hit at TH. you might roll, but you got GMG bar, so you are ok. adam and i would help you to flip the car rightside up if need be.

Last year when I did the Porsche Sport Driving School at the ring I followed
a Scandinavian GT3 around the nordschliefe for 1 lap in the rain (in my
rental Targa 4S)

The 1st spin was scary exiting the hatzenbach III and going thru Hocheinhen
he spun and nearly hit the guard rail ...

later that same lap going thru the apex of metzgesfeld he lost the back end
again and spun out into the runoff at around 100 ... coming to a halt about
a (metric) "*****-width" from the armco ...

it's then I vowed never to drive on MPSC's in the wet!

have fun @ TH ... wish I could be there (on Corsa's)
