Hey all,
I have a '71, dual seats, no back rest. (carpeted firewall) For any who have swapped to retractables in an early car where did you mount the receiver? -Mounting near the head rest.... or floor? -Weld a bung in and reinforcement plate? -Drill through the fire wall, reinforce, nut on back? -Make a sheet metal bracket.... Last question.. is there a trick to pulling these things out? They retract well... other way around, not so much. Here's a few quick/poor photos: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1594422654.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1594422655.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1594422655.3.jpg) Happy Friday! |

Hey guys,
Just a quick update. I read that 924 belts work well. 2 points and a bit more modern. Since they are still REPA and branded in the same marquee it sounded like a good fit for me. (I am not too picky about originality) For a set for $50 shipped on ebay and they already arrived. Heres the fit: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1594942487.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1594942487.2.jpg) After I test fit, I soaked everything in warm water and Dawn. Nice retraction and lock. Everything fits well when sitting in the seat. A decent option for anyone interested and not picky. I love that you can plug and and play some parts within the brand. |
