I recently purchased a 70 and after finally getting through various electrical issues, I'm left baffled about the seat belts.
It seems the PO installed late model seat belts in it with the retractor mounted on the inner long. This presents a problem because the the seat belts are too short to latch. Not that I'm a big guy but obviously it isn't correct. So... any chance someone has some seat belts which will fit properly or options to make these work. The quicker the better.... I really hate driving wihtout seat belts and I really hate not driving the 914 now that I can. |

you can use the 924 seat belts and put the retractor up on the rear firewall...as in the newer cars...
All of that fits. If you want the fixed belts, you would need to buy the ones at Bug City like Mark has done. OP, you mention that the retractor is on the inner long... the setup should have the retractor up on the rear firewall bolted just below the top edge....look at the rear back pad where there is a little bump out for the seat belt retractor.

He brought the car over for me to take a look. It is a '70 model so does not have the indent for the retractor unit.
With the 924 belts - does the retractor fit in the early cars without the indent? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
