I have received several Private Messages over the past two weeks asking for details on the four point harnesses I installed in my GT so I thought I’d post the information for everyone to see.
I purchased a set of Schroth Racing Profi II asm type belts. The shoulder belts are available with two kinds of attachment points, bolt-in and clip-in. While most pure racers pick the clip-in style, I chose the bolt-in largely because I would have less rattling from the belts on the passenger side when no one had them on. I purchased the belts from On Track Performance Solutions http://www.on-trackperformance.com , but you can find them at a number of different suppliers online.
When the belts arrived, the first thing I did was remove the God awful yellow “Schroth” advertisements that were sewn onto the belts. Next I measured the length of shoulder harness belt that was needed and cut the belts for an exact fit. They come with a sliding attachment at the bolt-in side that I removed, and I took the belts to a local automotive upholstery shop and had the belts permanently sewn into the bolt-in hardware. While you certainly do not need to do this, I thought it made for a cleaner installation. You can judge for yourself from the attached photos.
The lap belts bolt into the stock locations on the side of the seats. You can do this without removing the seats if you are persistent. The shoulder belts attach to the factory provided Torx bolts behind the seats on the engine firewall. All in all the install took about 15 minutes per side. While a fifth crotch belt would have been nice, this would have meant modifying the seat and I did not want to do that since I wanted to be able to return to a stock setup at any time.
I’m certain there are a number of different belts that would work, but I am happy with this setup and would recommend it to anyone.
