So I have an early seat belt holster in the classifieds. Question came up if they were only on the drivers side of the early cars or both sides. I believe it was just the driver side, but I have seen a early car with it on both sides, but no sure if the owner did that or it came that way.
Anyone know for sure? |

I tried to find a pic of my buddy's OO 71 /4, but none of the pix show the right spot.
PS - The link Racer Chris gave above does have excellent pix of it in place at that post, FYI. Based on a reliable source from the old days, who is far smarter than am I on these 914 details: "The seat belt tongue holster was installed on all 914 and 914-6 models from model year 1970 to model year 1972 until 12/31/71. One per car on the driver's side with four 2.9x9.5 lens head screws to secure Factory part number is 91480314110 If you do not have one on your drivers side, your car is not correct!" If your screws are pulling out, then they're probably either the wrong lenght screws &/or the carpet isn't original, since some after market carpets are a slightly deeper pile/backer material. My supposition was always since back in the 70's, that they put this "Holster" in to get it away from jamming the folding e-brake, wich became unnecessary when the retractable belts came in. Cheers!
