I'm trying to put together a set of NOS belts for my '74 and havingh some issues.
I've been able to find a 914.803.181.11 driver side retractor (1974 dated) that the PET shows as correct for 74+ cars, But for the passenger side, I've only been able to find 914.803.182.10 (1972 dated) which isn't in my PET at all. Obviously, the .11 belt superceded the .10 belt but does anyone know the exact differences? Can I use the .10 in my '74 car? |

Weren’t the 72 fixed belts (non-retractable).

May or may not be helpful, but the 193rd 1973 914, built in 9/1972, probably came with non-retractable belts.
Converted to retractable back in the 1990s, and the belts seemed original to the car. |

Guessing some of the details have been lost to time and to the supersessions in the PET over the years. MY PET is dated 24.07.2017 and only shows the .11 retractors. Just trying to see if I can mix and match .10 and .11 parts. I think that the difference may be in the upper mount. |
