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 |

Re-winding the spring can be done, but be patient, you gotta rewind it in the opposite direction it's in now. here's photo of rewound part IIRC I started from the inside and re-coiled out from there. Don't let it get away from you !  |
