All,
I rebuilt the '74 2.0 over the past few years and did not do anything with the seatbelts...........I tried and the coils jumped out - took me a day to get that back together...... The seatbelts do not recoil properly nor are they easy to pull into place.....draggy and catching....... Is there a thread in the forum with a solution to this aggravation? Thank you Teeners!

I temporarily un stuck (and cleaned) both belts by soaking them in hot soapy water. Placed in a home depot bucket or similar.
Work well and the smelled much better. I say temporarily because I switched to 944 belts a week later. Edit: I suppose the soapy fix only helps if they are gummed from dried up grease. Not a recoil issue. |

I say temporarily because I switched to 944 belts a week later. Are the 944 belts plug and play? The only difference is the size of the locating pin on the back of the retractor. The 944 belts have a slightly larger pin. Just drill out the hole to enlarge it to accept the 944 retractor. The rest is plug and play. Clay |
