Well it looks like the set of stock seat belts that have been in my garage are junk and I won't be able to use them. So, I need some replacements. I thought before I start looking for a stock set I'd enquire about after market 3 point units. Anyone here have them in their 914s?

Yeah, I know what you are saying about taking apart seatbelts. Besides being ugly, the inboard part of the new belts (I call it the female end) are too long making the anchor point too high off your hip when seated - not safe IMHO. Even then, you need to use a small heat gun to warp the plastic housing to fit around the contour of the seat and center seat pad. Again, I went hardcore on re-sewing the belt using the same sewing pattern. You can see this pattern in the last picture. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
