Hello, I did a short search and didn't really come up with much. I have a 72 914 with the old floppy belts and the passenger side looks really rough. I would like to replace them with new belts. I like the looks and function of the late model retractable belts. Has anybody done a conversion like this? Do they bolt in? Is fabrication needed or some welding? If anybody has some info would be cool. Thank you so much

Yup, the early 70/71 cars aren't a bolt in for later seat belts.
I have original metal to convert an early car if anyone is interested (cut/weld). |
