Retractable Seat Belts, Seat Belts Options

[tyler]

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.

I bought and installed the ones AA has listed on my 914-6 several years ago. Since I didn't want to cut up an original 914-6, it was the only way to get the retractable belts to work and not cobble up the car. They aren't perfect, but they do the job well and just need the belt retractor attached to the upper seatbelt mount, and the other ends simply bolted in place.

Probably worth the money they charge for them so you don't have to play around with welding, etc. It's also nice to have retractable belts that actually retract every time without a lot of fussing.

Anyone have any tricks to get old (1973) 914 belts to soften up. The ones on my other car are very stiff from age, and are a pain to get to retract properly.
