I recently bought a airbag deactivation bar off of the bay of E...for £49 which is spot on :) But I need some long bolts to fit it to the seat apparently :dont know:
Does anyone know where you can buy them... also what size they should be :?:

Thanks
 
Hi Demort
I did wonder if that might be the case :?
I'm wondering if some of the extended bolts folks use to fit aftermarket seats may work :?:

I'm not actually using a official Porsche child's seat I just need to disable the airbag to fit my little one's recaro sport in.
 
Basically any longer bolt will work , you just need the type of head on it that you can do up / undo .

I think you need to code it to stop the passengers airbag though .. im not sure here , 997 you do have to but i cant remember 996 .. ill try to find out .

The actual seat doesn,t matter .. its a seat belt fixing you fit that plugs into the original loom from memory .. been many years since i fitted one im afraid .

I need to research this further i think , memorys not what it was and it must be 6 years plus since ive done this mod .
EDIT ..

Ok ignore my rubbish .. here might help ..

It's almost a standard M10 bolt.... almost.

The bolt is very slightly triangular and forms its own thread when it's fitted at the factory. An M10 will fit but is slightly loose and from what I've read, will eventually knacker the thread if you take it in & out repeatedly.

Ask an your OPC in the first instance. After that, I'd just chuck a decent hi-ten bolt in there.
