Basically as the title says.

I'm planning on speccing the CS package and wondered what GT3/GT4 etc owners do with the harness during normal seatbelt driving?

As the GT4 will have fixed back LWB seats, I would like to know if there is an easy and quick way to stop the straps flailing. about when I decide to use the normal seatbelt. What do you do?

Cheers

My shoulder harnesses are just left dangling form the bulkhead, not posted through the LWB holes the left lap strap is poked down the side of the seat, the right is loose on the floor and the buckle is under the seat poked back through the hole...

Should only take a few ticks to feed them back to where they should be..

Ditto --- the waist straps are easily folded down the edge of the seat cushions --- the crotch buckle is an issue for 5 seconds ... and the shoulder straps only remind you of their existence under heavy braking when they rap on the seat back !

AS well as putting the belts out of way, for GT cars with schroth belts, I have a small round screw driver in the glovebox. Before/after track days I use it to help attach/remove the crotch roundel/buckle. You just need to poke it through the hole in the buckle and remove it (takes 10 seconds) and then the buckle goes in the glovebox and the crotch strap into the hole in the base of the seat completely out of the way

I always wear/wore my belts on every journey. All part of the experience to me. Perhaps I'm odd...

Sounds good. They don't rattle around too much or damage other parts of the trim (such as CFRP lining of LWB)?

Many thanks for the replies.

I'll be leaving mine in the box it comes in, at least until I'm moved to take it to the track. I bought the car for road use.

mine are both fitted, pretty much as per above;
lap belts pushed through holes in readyness for use, but tucked back over out of the way
pop the crotch strap back through it's hole - 2 mins to pull through when needed
Rear straps, fully extended and sitting in rear wells, so don't bang into anything when testing 1.2G braking smile

In my 996 GT3 CS - I used to use the harnesses pretty much every time I went out in it !
