Hi,
Thanks for the advice on the seatbelts. A pair of black Schroth Profi III 5-point belts arrived yesterday (ordered Friday!) and while kinda pricy, it was a simple purchase and they appear to be very high quality. http://www.subesports.com/products/?cartID...roth&prodID=587 Now, where to mount... I've researched this a bit, but have read somewhat conflicting statements. The Schroth manual specifically says not to mount the belts on a seat with a headrest, like the 914, but that appears to be what everyone does. Hmmm... Anyways, before I start drilling holes, I thought I'd run this by you guys to see what you think. The red dots denote where I'll mount the shoulder eye bolts (with backing plate) and the red line is where I'll cut (another) hole for the sub strap. Note I lowered the drivers floor about 1", that's why the seat is already cut up a bit. I'm 6'6", so those eye bolts would be parallel to my shoulders (0 degrees), and the sub-strap would be straight down. The lap belts will go to stock mounting points.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Another random question: I'm hoping my car passes tech inspection when complete (!)... Do I -really- need to keep all these fugly tags on the new seatbelts. Each belt (10 total for the car) has 2 tags with the date and warning, that Schroth emphasizes must stay on the belt. Does tech inspection care about the date (2008) that these belts "expire"? Also, for the really curious, this is how I ended up resolving my old brake line issue (http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=4730&hl=siverson). Much better, huh?

QUOTE(campbellcj @ Oct 14 2003, 10:28 PM) Hey Andy / Brad / Anybody - what is the best technique/tool to use to remove that crossbar and the seat brackets? Are there really just spot welds that can be drilled and then the pieces come out, or do you have to do some major cutting and grinding? Are you left with hole(s) in the floor or is it a clean procedure that doesn't need repairs in the aftermath? the seat mounts/brackets are just spot-welded and can be drilled out with a spotweld drill which leaves no holes. the crossbar needs to be cut, plasmacutter is the fastest, just don't cut too close to the floor, it'll burn holes in the floor. you can also use a cutoff wheel, but it's hard to get a clean cut in the corners ...
