Seat Belt Hardware help needed

[Simonjjb]

I have a 1971 911 Coupe and have the optional automatic seat belts for the front (see pic). I am having a bit of a hard time figuring out the needed hardware, especially the washers. The seat belts when I purchased the car were partly missing. The parts listing doesn't provide much info and many parts are NLA. I have a picture below of what I have and am trying to understand what I am missing for Both the front and rear belts...Thanks in advance...

Yes, I have looked extensively at this. But it doesn't provide a description of many of the washers/bolts etc and given many are NLA, it hard to figure out.

Well, I can start you a little bit The 2 very short bolts go to the 2 brackets that bolt to the seat rail bolts It goes bracket/ washer/ seatbelt receptacle/ bolt The others not 100% sure longer ones go with pieces that have to swivel those should have a plastic washer /spacer on each side that's all that I am sure about

Thanks, Rick

You have a mix of different bolts and since not an original set of belts it doesn't matter much. The three shorter bolt with collar are for a pair of rear seat belts (you need 4) and useless for the reels. The two bolts without collar you can use it to bolt the reel to the side panels, it only needs a serrated washer and 1 cm metal spacer. Although you can do without it the last one.
Use two of the long bolts with collar to mount the B pillar anchor and sandwich the bolt with two of the white washers (actually those washers are for a 3 point fixed seat belt B pillar anchor). Original reels have a different type of B pillar anchor and the bolt was sandwiched between 2 special black plastic washers. The L brackets were used when you had comfort seats and in your case you have two of the same side and for 2 seats you need 2 of the other side as well. You are still missing a 3-4mm metal washer for the anchors and spacer for the reel itself.

Hope this helps.

Well, your automatic belt is not the real deal. And the b-pillar anchor as well as the seat mounted hing are not correct. So there is no right or wrong bolt.

Here a pdf of the 72 73 seat belt mounting. Since your tongue is the type that was attached to the Autoflug reels (69-71) and 3 point fixed belts, the receiver is different but it uses the same bolt and wavy washer.
