HELP!!! schroth harness install!!

as always, i seem to get stymied on the first step...

i have schroth profi's and GT2 seats. the harness lap belts are anchored on the same bolt as, and beneath, the OEM lap belts, correct? should the bolt look the same on both sides?? on the outboard of each seat, there is a long bolt with both a thick, and a very thin washer. i.e. plenty of room to attach both belt ends. but on the inboard side, the receptacles are held on by a much shorter bolt. am i screwed here?? should i have gotten the long ones on both sides? otherwise, how can i attach both the OEM receptacle and the harness ends with that one stubby bolt?

thanks for any help!!

Hi, I am in exactly the same boat right now. I have Scroth harnesses with the GT3 seat eyebolts used for the 996 GT3 euro seats. I also now have the GT2 carbon seats, or Sport Bucket Seats, I think they are also called. These are both going into a 2007 997.1 GT3. Did you ever figure out how to do this properly? Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
-Christian

sorry just saw this: i just used the small bolt and made do the best i can. ive seen 3 other (GT's) like this, all installed by indy shops, so i'm hedging my bet that it's ok to do. i hear you can order long bolts (or just go to parts store and get a compatible?) but i was pressed for time and it is what it is and i havent looked back. good luck.
