So I was looking for something to do on the 914 today, and figured I'd clean out the old seatbelt mechanism so that maybe the seatbelt would work a little better without getting hung up all the time, and SPRING, out flies this masive spring in a huge mess.
Got the rest of it cleaned up OK, but can't for the life of me figure out how this spring goes back in. Any tips, or is this a lost cause? Any help appreciated, Steve 74' 914 |

I am on the same boat... I am thinking of straightening the coil and then slowly and carefully winding it back up...that should give it some tension
but is that too much? it is a pull spring right? meaning I would have to wind it on the outside rather than the inside? I hate springs Also my locking meachanism on the other side is trying to malfunction, is there a fix? I might buy new ones or 944's... |
