Harnesses
Harnesses need a harness bar or roll cageA 4-point, 5-point or 6-point harness with separate shoulder straps needs proper attachment points above and behind the seat. Fit a properly engineered harness bar or roll cage before using anything above a 3-point belt.
The TRS Clubman 3-point bolt-in at £80 and 4-point clip-in at £100 both use the standard seat belt anchor points and do not need a bar. For 4-point competition use, the TRS Magnum 4-point FIA at £205 and the Takata Drift II at £229 are the step up.
For 6-point harnesses, a harness bar goes in first. The TRS Magnum 6-point Superlite FIA at £245, the Takata Drift III at £270, and the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370.01 all suit a 991 fitted with a harness bar for track use.

Common questions
Which subframe should I use?
The Planted Technology Seat Brackets at £185.50 are the practical choice for most builds. Recaro and Cobra frames are also confirmed if you want a matched or premium option.
Do you stock a roll cage for the 991?
No, a harness bar or aftermarket cage is a separate specialist fitment for this car.
Can I run a 6-point harness without a harness bar?
No. A 6-point harness needs anchor points above and behind the seat for the shoulder straps. Fit a properly engineered harness bar or roll cage first.
Should I choose a competition bucket or a reclining seat?
A competition bucket holds you better through a corner but is harder to live with day to day. A reclining seat keeps more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat, and the range for this car runs to genuinely premium options.
