I think I have sorted all the bolts, washers, and bushings to get my seat belts installed, except for the belt end that bolts to the sills on the outboard side of the seats. I have stuff that came off the car (but a mix of PO randomness) and that I collected from other sources.
It looks like the metal bushings fit the belt end tabs best, but the Porsche parts catalog shows plastic bushings. Any guidance? A 73, BTW. Attached thumbnail(s) |

By sills do you mean up by your shoulder or down at the floor? |

My 73 had the plastic washers. I also learned that the short shoulder bolts go on the inboard side to bolt the receivers to the tunnel. If you use the long bolts there, the driver's side will interfere with the shift rod, causing it to grind and be hard to shift into 4 and 5. Had to learn that one the hard way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

@bkrantz
Here is a picture of the order of the hardware. Top pair B pillar Second from top, outer long Third from top reciever to tunnel Bottom, retractor to firefall. Not that Schnooor or wave washers are used. The metal loops go between to two black washers. Original washers are collared whit washers. Attached thumbnail(s) |
