I'm making a custom center console and find that the seat belt latch is too low and the release button is covered. I was wondering if there's another (German?) car application that will accept the 914 seat belt tongue that has a longer anchor cable. In the below photo, the latch and cable measures about 10" from the end of the latch to the center of the mounting hole. For my application, I need this length to be 12" - 13". Maybe a latch from a 944, 911, VW, Audi, or ??? is longer and accepts the 914 belt? Any ideas or suggestion?
Thanks, Andys Attached image(s)

I bought new belts from a member vendor in San Diego that will work for your application. They are similar to these http://www.mamotorworks.com/acvw?frame=1.8218. The cable on the receiver is a couple of inches longer than the stock belts. PM me if you want the member's contact info.

Maybe this one will work ..... 12-7/8" long.

There's no way of telling by this catalog page if it is compatible with the 914 seat belt tongue. Would you happen to know? Andys |

Andys No, sorry, I don't know. Obviously they sell Porsche compatible stuff, but the safest thing to do is call them and ask. |

Obviously they sell Porsche compatible stuff, but the safest thing to do is call them and ask. Thought I'd report back on this: I called peparts and they told me this receiver will not accept the 914 seat belt tongue (with the round hole). I did look at a '75 911, and it indeed does use what looks to be the same receiver as the '75 914 that I have (and it does accept the 914 tongue) though this doesn't help me in my quest to find a longer one.
