So I have an early seat belt holster in the classifieds. Question came up if they were only on the drivers side of the early cars or both sides. I believe it was just the driver side, but I have seen a early car with it on both sides, but no sure if the owner did that or it came that way.
Anyone know for sure? |

Good searching Chris. That was the thread I was thinking of...
The number of people with early cars who chimed in on that thread without holes seem to indicate that they were not install at the factory. And the number of people with early cars who DO have the holes is high enough to seem to indicate that the dealers were installing these. I suspect that if they were truly aftermarket parts, you would see them occasionally. But the response is greater than 'occasionally', so it's probably dealer installed. Dealers would install parts like these as add-ons to drive up the profit margins. So you see them with increased frequency because they tried to push them onto everyone who bought a 914. |
