Hi all,
I know you're all probably thinking cages and 5-point
cam-locks, etc. But I've got an early car without
retractable belts and for a number of good reasons
it's going to stay that way for a while.

However, I don't particularly like the stock belts which
were not ideal new, and are now 33 years old. I just
want a new belt that will bolt in like stock, I can feel
safe on the road, and crank in good when I go AX-ing.
And not break the bank, currently unemployed. :gilloutine:

Thanks,
Mark S.

I replaced the belts in my car right after I bought it. I found that PEP did a good job of matching me up with a set of belts. They are not exactly OE style, but that doesn't matter to me (when they sell my car at my estate sale in 40 years no one will know the difference (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ). I think they'll work with you to find OE style if that's important. Unfortunately, not cheap...but see what they've got to offer.

Good luck,
Kevin

I think the address is www.peparts.com: PEParts.

The part number for early 914s is KT106 (KT100 for 74- ). $150 a copy.

Apparently AA had a box of NOS belts - I got a pair for $168 a few weeks back on eBay. Don't see any right now though.

I don't know of other sources.

nope, not without major modifications.
the retracting part is bolted up on the firewall and early cars don't have the proper sheet-metal shape to bolt them on. i suppose you could drill holes and bolt the retracting part on there anyways, but i doubt it will be as strong as the later style (re-enforced) sheet metal ...

Hey as long as this thread got bumped I'll say what I
did recently. I found a place that sells the bug non-
retractables that look period, but are of course new
and safer, plus they can be adjusted so the buckle
is on the side rather than in the middle of your
stomach. Picked up 1 to start with from bugcity. $32.
Annoying part is there's a lot extra coming down from
the pillar that I'll have to stick somewhere.

I installed the PEParts retractable belts in my 1970 six. Very straight forward bolt in. They were much better than the stock non retractable belts. I would do it again for the $300 spent.
