REPA Seat Belts Options

[enoz05]

Can anyone confirm these repa belts are a set, left and right

One with number 914.803.130.10
One with number 914.803.131.10
two with number 914.803.135.10

i can recognise a few things there.

1. the squiggle line symbol and G482 on three of the belts is the german approval certification. these are german belts for german market (and possibly also had approval for EU).

2. the MVS number is for USA approval certification. thats a USA belt.

3. all seatbelts are dated when manufactured. you can see the date on all of them.
L to R they are 1971, 1970, 1971, 1971. later belts include the month of manufacture.
for instance on my 74, the car was manufactured jan 74 and has belts marked 12/73.

4. these belts do not come up in my parts catalogue. both my euro and my USA parts catalogues list only the retractable belts. however you can see enough in those listings to know that left and right belts are distinguished by the third set of three numbers in the part number sequence.

so it looks to me like going left to right in your photo.
1 and 3 are both identical sided german belts. either left or right handed, not sure which because don't have a parts catalogue that covers those early belts.
but the 135 (third set of three numberrs) indicates the side. both the same.

and 2 and 4 can't be a pair because 2 is USA and 4 is german market.
EDIT - i say that they can't be a pair strictly speaking. due to dates and market approval. however when you look at the third set of three numbers they are in sequence one after the other.
2 is 130. 4 is 131.
going off my parts catalogue usually the left belt is the lower number and the right belt is the higher number. so i would say 2 is a left hand side belt and 4 is a right hand side belt and they do constitute a pair, apart from certification and dates. i'd take a further guess and say the belts were identical for european and USA markets but just had a certification approval symbol that was suited to the market being sold in. and also 70 and 71 belts the same. could be wrong about that, but......


hope that helps.
