Hi!

I have a 914 from 1972.
How should the seat belts look like ?
Anyone have some pictures ?
They are missing in my car.

The no on the delivery says "-549- 3-point seat belt front".
Is it retractabel ?

I've had 2 '72s they both had retractable seatbelts... one was a pretty early '72, and my current one was made in Jan '72 right after the mid-72 changes...

I have a '70 and '72, both with the fixed seat belts, and wonder what the retractable belts look like. I'm seeing what looks like a reinforced mounting plate for a seat belt retractor on the back firewall, over the driver's left shoulder, and then a recess in the top of the rear pad where the belt might come out. If that is the configuration of the retractable belts, I might want to consider upgrading. Anybody know who might sell them?

Seat belt planet sells a nice set of reproduction belts that will fit into any 72-76 914. We have NOS seat belts but they are cost prohibitive

It would be fun to find the middle seat belt that was an option for my 1970 so I could ride with both daughters at the same time ... maybe when their mom isn’t looking.

Apparently “cost prohibitive” is my middle name.

I had one but after thinking about how a quick stop would send my child’s face into the gear shift lever, I sold it.
