914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ WTB: Late Seat belt

Posted by: malcolm2 Mar 28 2017, 01:16 PM

My Driver's side reel is giving me trouble. Thought I would see what folks might have in their "I'll never use this" bin to sell for cheap.

For safety sake, I have looked around on the aftermarket web. Anyone have suggestions if I would just buy new?

Seat belt planet has a full set

vintagewarehouse65uk is an eBay seller that will sell just 1.

I saw one NIB on eBay.

I would try to find the OEM part.

I looked around a bit and found a '73 911 belt that worked for me.

Sometimes, it just takes some sleuthing.

What year car is it for. The hardware varies. Any year will fit. I have several.

My car is a 75. IIRC i found a decent unit for the drivers side in a junk yard. That is the one acting up. It is a 73 maybe.

I took it apart tonight. Re-assembled it. Operated it 50 times and it worked every time. So I guess I am ok for now.

Let me ask. Are the retracter reels the same? That is, springs on the right (drivers side) and the fat covers (locking mech) on the left?

I was thinking NEW cause i figured they worked better and would work for a longer period and maybe would be safer.
