I would like to replace the seat belts in my car. I have a '73 so it has the recessed spots for shoulder straps. The driver side is intact but someone replaced the passenger with a lap belt. I would like to put two new shoulder belts in place just for safety reasons. Does anyone know of a good vendor? I have seen a bunch around, even some with some 'vintage' looking belts. However, I am not sure exactly what measurements are required to fit the 914.

I haven't tried the Scotchguard trick since my issue is the inertia lock kicks in when pulling the belt out. It can take numerous attempts to get the belt out. I'm assuming lubricating won't help this, but I could be wrong - been known to happen every now and then...

I found several "how to's" which basically involve taking them apart, cleaning out 30-40 years of crud, regreasing the moving bits, & rewinding the springs inside. One had videos & another site had pix. Good time to change out or trim/de-fray the belt webbing then too. |
