Well I've been busy with the GT3, I managed to pick up two brand new Schroth harnesses (1 standard Profi-II-6) and a HANS Profi-II-6 for a crazy price...especially as they are new and have a FIA expiry of 2012!!!!
However a standard Profi is not a Porsche Profi, different mountings etc etc but bollox was I going to pay Porsche prices (£360 per harness was quoted, Carnewal €315-350 each) however I went down the road to GPR (great guys!) at Silverstone and bought 4 seatbelt style mounts, these fit on the seat mount and the harness is threaded through the hole.
As a side issue I contacted Schroth about using one of their mounting kits on a Porsche and I was pleasantly surprised when they said that they haven't tested it on a Porsche and will run a break test on the part for me and get back with a 'yes' or a 'no'. Here's the part:
If they say yes then this will fit on the seatbelt mount allowing a standard Schroth carabiner to work perfectly. So I may revisit this later.
So what is there left to do? Well I had to order a TX Star E12 socket which will allow me to remove the seats. I have to remove the seats to attach the transmission tunnel side harness mounts, also on the passenger side I have to fit a bloody big bit of metal under the seat to attach the anti-submarine harness (2 of the 6 points)
So hopefully in the next day or so I should be complete.
If anyone wants a Schroth harness let me know and I'll put you in contact with the guy. Put it this way I got my two for half the Porsche price for one!
