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 |

If you ever take you seatbelt retracter apart and the spring turns into a BIG HAIR BALL looking thing. It takes time and patients, but you can put it back together. So don't take it apart. I understand all adustments are made without taking it apart to see the spring.
how to re-wind your seat belt spring. The pictures in this link are for a passenger side unit, I assume that, cause mine was a mirror to this one. I also assume late cars have a spring that will only start one way... THank the lord for that, it was trouble enough without the fear of doing it backwards. |
