914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Will 944 seat belts work in our cars?

Posted by: Tdskip Jan 12 2019, 09:16 AM

It struck me this AM that 914 seat belts in good condition seem to be a bit spendy but 944 stuff is cheap (and newer).

Any reason not to use a 944 set up? I think the mounting point bolts etc are all interchangeable. Only issue I can see is physically where they mount is different and the belt length may not be compatible but I've not tried it.

Awaiting a dope slap if this is a terrible idea.

Well I'll be, blind squirrel and acorn to start my Saturday.

Thanks for the confirmation George, hope it was a productive week for you and the team.

Yes, there is a set in Betty's 914.

The pin that goes into the firewall is slightly larger on the 944 seat belts. You may have to take a drill and open the hole for the pin slightly.

BTDT.

Contact Larts parts (Luis) If he doesn't have any listed on his ebay page I'm 99.99999% sure he has tons of them sitting on a shelf.
