the Schroth hybrids go a step further and remove the hardware from the vicinity of your jewels,

I have been working with a friend who's getting his non-GT3 996 ready for club racing - and the decision was made that if he used all GT3 seat hardware (and a GT3 seat), the under-the-seat-bracket-bar would be acceptable.

Well, let me clarify this statement... In my 944, I have a 5 point belt with the sub strap going through the floor - that's the car I race. I have a 996 that I occasionally DE with a Schroth 6 point belt with GT3 seats and the GT3 under-the-seat-bracket-bar.

I wrote the original post wrong and mixed the inner/outer...corrected.
I am using the original outer seatbelt mounting point and placing an eye bolt. I am drilling the tunnel (inner) side and using a reinforcement plate.
I am planning on bolting 2 eyebolts behind each seat with reinforcement plates for the sub-belts.
Sorry if that was confusing to read.

If you look at some of the high speed videos of seat belt tests, the first action of the dummy is to sub down in the seat as they start forward into the belts. So don't underestimate the amount of force that the sub belt will see.

Good to know Brian, thank you.
I was planning on drilling where the early 944's had the seatbelt originally. Im guessing that is within the steel surround you mention?

Schroth Hybrids...they wrap up the inside of your legs and attach to the side of the camlock. Plenty of room.
Regardless, the T-bar on a normal 6-point should spread the belts far enough apart in your manhood region to make things far more comfortable and less dangerous in a crash. If you're using a 6-point setup without a T-bar, then yeah, you're not gaining anything.
