Does anyone have any suggestions, measurements, etc. for proper hoop placement?
Charlie: If you can wait ... come measure My DADs and Recaros next Sunday and see which will work for you. You are welcome to swap them in and out of the Targa. If you are putting DADs in your Targa ... then my car will be identical.

As far as suggested spacing ... from what I have seen there is a standard size spacing on the harness guide hoops. This spacing and their attachment (construction) is critical should you ever want to use a HANS device. Go to HANS site to see detailed info on harness guide hoop placement. The purpose ultimately is to prevent the straps from separating any more than is necessary although the seat-back holes have a more direct affect on this. Most racing seats and aftermarket seats with shoulder harness pass throughs have a standard spacing. You can measure it on some of the seats I have (Recaro, DAD, Sparco, Clubman, Cobra) and get an average #.

Good luck.
