Wanted - 1973 rear lap belts

My 'new to me' 1973 911T doesn't have nay rear belts, but does have the fixing holes pre-drilled, so I guess there are original or remanufactured belts I can get. Let me know if you have or know of any.

JB, I simply mentioned to Richard (Tuthill) that I wanted a smooth European look and he changed the bumper fittings with spares that he already had. The waxoyl hasn't actually been done yet - I went over on Thursday and the plan was for them to do it Friday, but it pi**ed it down so they 'owe me'. I...

JB, I saw it in the barn about a year ago, just after it had been imported. Francis had driven it and at that time given it a 'clean bill of health', but noted it was too good as a basis for a rally car ! You are correct in thta I asked them to remove the US front overriders and they changed the rea...

My new car is finally home

Just a quick post to say that I have been over to Francis Tuthill and collected my 'new' 1973 911 T/E now running on Webers. More pics and info to follow, but just wanted to share for now. Initial pictures (pre clean, waxoyl and new front carpets) are here on msn. http://porsche-pages.spaces.live.co...

Early 911 Wanted - Ownership Advice Sought

I have sold my 911 Carrera and as circumstances now dictate, I am looking for a 911 that I can use year round (10K miles per year). Firstly - is this madness in an early 911 ?
