Sabelt 6-Point Harness Installation

I am not responsible for any problems you experience as a result of trying to do anything described here. The hack documented here worked fine for me but may not work for you far any number of reasons.

The method of attaching the shoulder belt may not be acceptable for your PCA region. I know it's ok with the Chicago PCA region for Drivers Ed events, but not for Club Racing. The better way of attaching the shoulder belts is to use longer belts and attach them to the rear seat seatbelt bolts.

Please note that I have since installed a DAS bolt-in rollbar to use instead of the harness bar.

I purchased a Brey-Krause harness bar and set of belts from a local Porsche racing supply shop called Northstar Motorsports. The harness is probably the first thing you should install in your car if you plan to do drivers ed events. Safety is very important, but I find the harness helps keep me firmly planted in the seat as I'm flying around the turns.

I have a similar harness already installed in my Boxster. I've always wanted a Hotlap system, and now that I have a harness bar, I have someplace to mount it!

Before installing the harness yourself, you will need the following items:

I replaced the outboard seatbelt bolt with this eye-bolt.

The outboard lap belt now clips on easily.

I ended up having Fischer Motors put in these eye-bolts on both sides to connect the inboard submarine belt.

This is how it looks with the sub belt attached and the floor matts back in.

I had to permanently attach the inboard lap belt using the existing bolt.

The seat will still slide all the way forward as long as I fold back the belt.
Viewed: 94 times.

The outboard sub belt attaches to the same eye-bolt as the lap belt.
Viewed: 357 times.

Here is how it looks all done.
Viewed: 397 times.

I put some racer's tape around the harness bar to keep the camera mount from scratching.

All that's left now is to adjust the length of the belts to make them comfortable and enjoy!!
