Default does GT3 subbelt mount bar fit 911?

Does anyone know if the GT3 Sub-belt Mount Bar fits a 3.2 911?
Basically, I'm asking if the width between rails is "close enough" for it to fit?

I'm mounting Recaro Pole Positions w/BK side mounts on Sparco sliders.

Thanks.

It may fit, but, while I am no safety expert, it is strongly suggested to mount anti-sub belts to the CAR and not to the seat.........

Ah ha... so you want to start that debate again! I realize the sheet metal of the floor can be re-inforced with a large steel plate underneath to prevent the eyebolts from ripping out (certainly something more than the 2x3 "reinforcement" plates Schroth sent).

HOWEVER... that doesn't resolve my problem of the electronics being in the way. I'm short and if I locate the sub anchors between zero and 20-degrees from my spineline, they end up in the DME/Electronics.

I may be safer having it anchored at the correct angle on the GT3 subbelt bar than 45-degrees behind me on the floor??

I measured center-hole to center-hole of the seat mounts. It's 16 inches. The overall length of the GT3 bars is 16-3/4" as I understand it. Sounds like it might fit? Anyone know?

Any other opinions on using it vs other options?

The GT3 sub is 16 3/4" end to end, 3mm thick at the mounting flange(matches the 3mm thickness of the factory RS seatbely mount), 2x 8mm holes at each end, 15 15/16" OC between the mounting holes. It makes for a very solid setup when it's sandwiched between the sidemounts and sliders
