With several model changes happening at the end of 1967, I am trying to find out what the correct seatbelts are for my 10/67 build 1968 911L. There are no anchors in the rear wheel wells from other's photos that I can see...and with several types/brands, etc... being offered for sale, would like to know what my car is supposed to have.
The Dr. B Johnson book didn't have anything specific to seat belts, only seats, and I don't know if/when there was a change or cut off.
Thank you!
My 68 has this type.

Hello, does your chrome buckles have a recess shaped to fit the Porsche decal shape in it? My 68 has this belts but the buckles have the recessed area for the decal. Sorry, just wondering as the buckles looks flat on your photo. Thank you.
If you wish to take your SWB belts apart and restore all the fittings, i have the webbing available to replace that old rotten stuff...!

Yes, has the recessed area for the decal.Originally Posted by al agustin
Thank you for the information! Looks like I know what I need now. What mejia_anthony posted. What is odd, is that I don't have that anchor point for the over shoulder piece. I looked in my wheel wells and they were either welded shut and undercoated YEARS ago....or were just lap belts.
My car was US delivered (to New Jersey), left the factory 10/67, delivered to new owner 3/68. Nothing on my Kardex that refers to seatbelts/restraints.
You are probably looking in the wrong place. Just under the rear quarter windows. Your car may have been reupholstered and they are covered up by incorrect upholstery. You cant see them from the wheel wells. You will also have harness mounts under the rear package shelf upholstery. Your car definitely had shoulder belt anchors. If it had some shoddy rust repair, they may have been eliminated.

Those are some pretty belts. Mine are all jacked up and all but 1 date label is rotten.
Now I am really confused. I ordered the anchor kit form Stoddard, which came today. I purchased a set of 1968 belts, and spent a day cleaning them all up to install today. When I went to lay them out to prepare for installation - I noticed some issues here.
1. Two anchor points/reverse clamps which I have anchor points for behind the seats.
2. You can see all of the tags match, and were produced in February 1968:
3. I love the belts and have really cleaned them up nice. However, after confirming I have the (now covered up) third/shoulder mounting cup, and purchasing the rather expensive mount/clamp knobs from Stoddard, something isn't adding up here, as the shoulder/3rd mount portion looks like a 69 B-pillar mount, no? Why are these original 1968 tagged belts (February 1968 tag) equipped with an anchor point and not the clamp as shown earlier.
Nothing seems to be consistent here in photos or documentation, and it is frustrating! I'll tell you what I am tempted to do, and that is to drill a hole through the original mount point that was covered up and put a washer and nut on the back side (inner fender well), seal it and call it a day. How many people would that upset, if the plastic covered mount point went directly into the portion below the quarter glass as opposed to the clamp setup? I guess the only downfall is not being able to unclamp the belt for easy access into/out of the back (passenger access - not that I would have any passengers....)
Help!

Belts look really good all cleaned up. Perplexed over your dilemma since I never took the occasion to install after I bought them. Don't have my '68 manual handy so I resorted to the 912 BBS reference library. Attached a copy of the appropriate page out of the '68 manual Explanation under the picture seems to say that all holes were drilled and taped and then covered with plastic caps. Says belt shackles are to be screwed in. I think that's why the one end of the belts that has the bolt, is covered by the vinyl piece. Takes the place of the caps you remove. Looks like the lower connection holes have a similar removable cap. I think you indicated you have a hole in the appropriate place that was upholstered over. If I am incorrect I'll take the belts back and give you a full refund. If I am correct hope Stoddard gives you a refund.
