Default 986 sparco racing seat questions

I came across a set of Sparco Pro ADV seats. They came with the brackets and sliders. The seats were in a 2014 cayman. Im planning to put them in my 986. A couple of questions:
1. Will these bolt directly in?
2. I am planning on going with a harness, but not a full cage yet, What additional parts will I need to install a harness?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Not sure if you are bolting in a 5 or 6 point harness but either way any organization you drive with will require the lap belt and 5/6 harness are bolted through the floor. The shoulder straps will need to be attached to a rollbar or if not mounted to the car just as the other points are done. Perhaps to the hoops but not sure about that as they are too high and close together. Shoulder straps need to be just at or just below shoulder height to be effective.
I don't know if those seats from a cayman will bolt directly into a 986, I doubt it though.

Thanks for the reply. I was trying to avoid bolting it to the floor. I was hoping to use the BK sub mount, but im not sure it will fit with the sparco seat mounts.
