1965 & '66 Mustangs had a small bench seat with a fold down center arm rest which might fit. Just measured the 914 and the Shelby from door to door and they are approximately the same. I had a '66 coupe with the bench seat and it was actually more comfortable than the buckets. A friend is supposed to dig one out of his pile of old parts so I can make a redneck garage couch. Might see if it will work.

QUOTE(TargaToy @ Oct 8 2011, 08:43 PM) The center belts share the inboard seatbelt bolts. No. There are two extra threaded holes in the floor on early cars that are closed off with plastic bolts by default. That's where the center belts mount to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

I'm pretty sure the belts were similar or the same as the ones from early 911 rear seats. But I would not let my kids ride in a car without proper shoulder and lap belts.

The people I bought my 914 from in 75 had 2 kids & removed the center console to make it more comfy for them to ride there.
On several occasions I'd driven with 3 across the front - me & 2 gals usually in my single days, a couple of times with 3 of us Ruggers on the way to the 3rd half - or from it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) ... also drove with 6 inside & top on thru the burger drive thru! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) That cop who was the supposed PCA prez was full of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) & probably never saw inside of a 914, let alone knew the specs. Sir Andy, my 8/72 built 73 2L has the extra threaded receivers for the 3rd belt, but the gas tank sticker says 2 passenger (not 2+1), probably because the "included option" center console on the 73 2L's made it impossible to use it for a 3rd adult due to the lack of leg room. Here's why it needs to be a 2+1 when you're driving along (reverse the idea for our female Teeners) -  . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

And as far as i know the 3rd seat-belt was not an option anymore in '73. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Took a trip to the grocery store in the '73 914 with me, a female friend, a male friend and her full grown Irish Setter...a bit crowded but the drinks before made it seem like the right thing to do.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

So THAT's what those plastic plugs in the threaded holes were! I found them while stripping tar. My center seatbelts were bolted down with the inboard seatbelt bolts as I stated above.
Thanks, Sir Andy. U lernt me somethin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
