Some of you 914 historians might have some info on this...in Europe I believe there was an option of a lap belt for children for the '3rd seat'. Any one have any pictures/data?

The parts are (were) available in the USA, their is a part number for the center seatbelt assembly (914.803.025.10) for cars built through 12-31-71. The seating pad was also available in different leatherette finishes (914.521.053.09-11). I've never seen such a car delivered in the USA though. Anyone got one?

I pulled the seatbelts outta a wreck at the junkyard a few years ago, got tired of storing them and tossed em. They are just small belts....

I drove my boss and his wife from San Diego to LA. She put one leg on one side

of the tunnel and one on the other. This made shifting rather fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My '70/4 was delivered with those center belts installed, and they're still there. I also have both the smooth vinyl and the seat matching vinyl pad inserts. Back in 1975, wifey, 5 yr old daughter and I drove from Cincy to Orlando and St. Pete/Tampa utilizing those belts and seat pad. In 1979, the three of us again took a road trip with our 914, this time to D.C. Given that our daughter was still small and my wife and I were a whole lot younger then, it wasn't a difficult situation.

there's two threaded mounting holes in the floorpan, one on each side of the center tunnel, near the rear firewall ...

only '70/'71 cars have those ...

closeup of a mounting hole:

from the factory, those holes are plugged with a black plastic bolt that can be unscrewed with a large philips screwdriver ...

mounting the belts uses the same hardware as the regular seatbelts. short bolt, big washer, two plastic spacers ...

I'd post pics of the seat pad(s) and belts installed, but my digital camera is in the "shop" being repaired. Estimated fix time, 1 to 8(!) weeks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Jeesh, you'd think it was a "914 camera".

You have to be careful not to "miss a shift" with the bosses wife...esp if he's there... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
