Can someone tell me what year 914's have the retractable belts mounted to the floor and how to tell the difference between those and the ones that are mounted up above (if this is true)? I've been looking for a set of retractables tp replace the regular ones in my '70 and I'd like to mount them on the floor. Somewhere I picked up that the earlier ones were mounted up higher.
I suppose the only difference would be belt length, but I'd like to be sure.

Not only are they mounted on the firewall, they're mounted in pockets let in to the firewall, so the pockets have to be installed. Mark has a set in his '72 that came from an '83 Volvo 240Turbo. Rear seat belts, not front. They're mounted on the floor. The threaded hole in the pillar is already there in the '72s. Not gonna work in the '70-'71 on the passenger side unless you install a moveable seat and a later rear pad. It is likely the holes in the pillars are there, though. The Cap'n
