Recaro Speed and Seatbelt Mounting issue
I have a set of Reacro Speeds that I'm looking to put into my '85 911(stock seat belt mount on seat), and I'm having issues figuring out the best way of mounting the seat belt receptacle again. I purchased the 964 RS belt mounts to stick between the sliders and the floor, but I think that the Speeds will clip them and prevent them from being used.
Anyone have any experience disassembling the side of a Speed/SRD to try to get more clearance? Also, trying to minimize the amount of junk under the seat as I'm 6'5" and want the most headroom I can get.

When I had SRDs in my '87, I didn't need to use the separate belt bracket. The SRD had the bracket already there on the side of the seat.

I used 'tabbed' Recaro sliders, with a base that bolted to the floor. The belt attachment was part of the base. I can't remember where I got the bases that the sliders bolted to. The bases did add a bit of height versus having flat sliders directly on the floor, but still lower than stock.
I couldn't figure out how to make the brackets you have work, so I went with the above solution. Never tried taking the seats apart, not sure if that would help. Sorry.

I must have had the sliders on my SRD seats like mnez describes. I bought the seats secondhand from a local friend. So I don't know the specifics of how the bottom mounted sliders were selected to fit the seats.
