The slider has the receptacle mount welded on, so no add on and washers...I thought this might be for TUV regulations, but maybe it also has to do with the length of the receptacle. Part #: 869 426.
They are not installed yet, so I can’t be sure...but I definitely recall the ABEs had larger lap belt holes to accommodate for the belt to be inside the bolster. I did see a different post a few months ago, where there was challenges with the install of these sliders (not all elements in the kit are used, so it looks a little confusing)...I’m hoping mines goes better.

Interesting to note that those items are side specific, which makes sense.
1. Passenger side - 869 426

2. Driver Side - 869 416

Also, ran across this thread regarding the above part numbers in a 993 install...

Per an earlier post, this is the slider that I got with my Classics...
Clearly pretty different than 869 426 & 869 416.
It looks like there is a separate part number for the seatbelt receptacle mount (and opposing rail spacer). Can you provide that?
I wonder what your other extra pieces are for, especially the ones with the countersunk screw holes in 'em. Those seem extraneous. Won't they add unwanted seat height (depending on how tall you are)?
What do all these do? Where do they go?
Either way, you still need side mounts to attach the seats to the rails, no? What will you use?
