A local wrecking yard here has 944. On the World here I have read that the seat belts from the 944 are plug and play, for the most part, for 914 cars that came with retractable belts. Are there any suspension, brake, or other components from the 944 that are usable on the 914?

Thanks for the input guys. For the record, I am a total noob!
I went to the yard today and tried to follow up on all your suggestions. I did pull the front seat belts; condition still to be assessed. I pulled the gage pod. No switches as suggest. No outside door handles of note; they looked like the belonged on a Jetta. Missing some trim on them. Spare tire was a steel space saver. And I tried for CVs and failed. I could not break any of the bolts loose. Axles would spin, could not lock them down. And it was hot as Hades here today. I don't think I have the right tools or strength at this time to get those axles for you. I am 5 weeks out from shoulder surgery and I think it might take more than hand tools. Welcome suggestions. Also, why are iPhone photos huge and difficult to post? |
