I spoke with Paul Walsack on Sat. The bottom line is that you will want do do whatever will pass tech for our events. Paul said he is not sure that he can sign off on any substrap that attaches to the seat, including via a seat-mounted subbar. However, before giving you an "official" response, he is going to research the issue esp. with respect to the GT3.

I'm in the same boat, will be putting harnesses in my GT3, so I will be listening with interest. There is another type of bar that mounts to the chassis using the same bolts as the seat rails (i.e. no drilling but mounted between tub and rails) and that might be acceptable.

Thank you very much for looking into this for me. i guess that is the reason he has not emailed me back.

I guess for now, need to plan on drill/weld. But...the question remains do the sub-bars serve any purpose if one mounts to the floor-secured eyebolt. And, why then does Porsche sell and seemingly recommend the sub-bar for the sub straps. Heck, it is in the shop manual. I am happy to find the page(s) and post it if anyone does not have access to it.

As for scwaters. I am glad, then, that i am raising these questions. I really have tried to do the appropriate research and, as far as i can tell, there is no clear answer for what should be done. That many have done the floor mounting is clear, but is it needed?

As a general recommendation for our region. Perhaps collecting the region requirements (and recommendations) for safety modifications would be a good addition to the RTR web site.

Thank you all for the interest.
