Rear seat belts 1972

[dirk07]

Hello,

I would like to upgrade to rear seat belt for my kids.
The car wasn´t ordered with rear seat belt.
Due to safety reasons I decided to go with new ones and remove for meetings and judging.

For order new belts I m interested in the original length of both seat belt sides/parts.

Not really an answer to your question but US cars produced beginning in January of 72 did not come with rear seat belts. They just came with a black plug or screw in the hole. I was always kind of a head-scratcher for me. Maybe somebody has a car produced prior to then that can measure the belts for you?

They had black pugs? Mine has just screws... Interesting...

Every time I visit this site I acquire more knowledge!

As previously mentioned, 72 thru 83 911s did not come with rear belts, even though there were provisions for them. 2 good choices would be seat belts from a 69 thru 71 911 or a 84 or later 911 or 944. I like the later belts because they are inertia reels and easy to install and use. Granted, they are just lap belts but that space is pretty confined back there and they would do a lot to keep a small child in their seat.

PS: Rear belts are rarely used and used ones tend to be in pretty good shape.

+1 - I used 944 belts and they worked great.

Following your examples I ordered a pair of 944 belts. All complete with screws spacers and plastic caps.
Two of the four screws are longer and a pair of spacer (like a Tube for the screen)was included.
On which side (inner or outer) should I mount the longer ones?

I don't think it really matters.

Here are the plugs.



Here are some belts. I'm not sure if they're correct. I tried to find original belts for my 1973.5. It was impossible. That's why I went back to the plugs in the first picture.

Is Original Really Important?
