So gt3 buckets waiting to go in my 997,

Genuine Porsche sliders ready,

Heavy duty brackets on the way

I can reuse the oem bolts to mount the runners to the floor but what rated bolts should I use to fasten runners to the brackets?

Probably non tuv I'd agree, but what standard do the big names pass?

Sparco, cobra e.t.c don't seem to be fia certified other than their very top end stuff

you would hope so but not last time I checked, the tests themselves make it very expensive for seats that will never be used competitively

whilst I agree that FIA certification proves that

its only mandatory for seats used in competition which is why most seats not aimed at that market don't go through the process, hence my point I don't remember ALL Cobra setas being FIA certified
