I need to figure out how best to mount them using sliders and 3 point belts, but also allow for a sub-belt mount.

Since the RS and speedster used this seat, are the factory parts the way to go?

Anyone have direct experience?

thanks!!

Not really, mostly because everyones body is different and will therefore want a different seating solution,

2 drivers mounting the same seat will likely need different sidemounts and perhaps sliders, the shoulder seat holes that work for one may not work at all for someone else.

MB965 mounted pp in his 993 and did a great job, but he also did a lot of custom work to get a satisfactory solution.

he used 944 manual sliders w/ BK sidemounts, he is a big guy like me and modified the seats by enlarging the shoulder harness hole to SPG-XL spec for use w/ a DAS roll bar. Bothh of us besides being on the tall side use HANS, the SPG-XL size hole or better is almost mandatory

his seat setup is great for me, but I didn't want to have to do all the custom work so used SPG-Xl seats w/ Recaro sliders and al. sidemounts. I tried 4 different sets of sidemounts before finding the ones that I ended up using, they are all slightly different.

factory manual sliders are nice but very scarce used, the flat Recaro sliders work as well.
