It struck me this AM that 914 seat belts in good condition seem to be a bit spendy but 944 stuff is cheap (and newer).
Any reason not to use a 944 set up? I think the mounting point bolts etc are all interchangeable. Only issue I can see is physically where they mount is different and the belt length may not be compatible but I've not tried it. Awaiting a dope slap if this is a terrible idea. |

Yes, there is a set in Betty's 914.
The pin that goes into the firewall is slightly larger on the 944 seat belts. You may have to take a drill and open the hole for the pin slightly. BTDT. |

Contact Larts parts (Luis) If he doesn't have any listed on his ebay page I'm 99.99999% sure he has tons of them sitting on a shelf.
