Sub strap attachment

For those overseas getting their cars, I presume there is a substrap for the harnesses? Can anyone report what the substrap is attached to? Pics appreciated.

From what I hear cars delivered with the racing seats have a special brace/mount welded to the floor for proper seat belt anchor points.

None of the North American cars will have those welded in mounts. My gts didn't have it when I took delivery at the welt.

Was waiting for M4_GTS to chime in. We looked for these and noticed they were omitted on our cars, as was the fire extinguisher, and I believe the harness mount rings in our cage were omitted and the holes where they are supposed to screw into were plugged....I didn't check that last one...but it came up in conversation at one point, I should have my car in the next day or two, I can double check.

To do this as per factory the seats and all carpet comes out. Then you have to fab a x-brace and have it welded to floor. Unless someone is willing to strip their Euro version to have a look it will not be exactly as factory.

Floor/chassis is steel? Chassis on the GT4s were aluminum so you can't just put an eye bolt in like in the older Porsches.

I take it the sub is NOT attached to the seat slider.

Did anyone check to seat if the bottom seat cushion has a pass through? Again Porsche sewed them shut on the passenger side of North American cars.

So silly that in order to be "safe", they are compromising our safety!
