Rear seat belt mounting points

Post by philip_sloper »

Are there any mounting points for a rear seatbelt already provided in a 1973 911?

I would like to install two point lap belts.

Thanks for the prompt answers, I'll have a look under the carpet.

Any idea where to get the belts from?

you don't need to lift / remove the carpets ... use a long needle / spike & use it to poke through the carpet until you find the threaded hole.

To give you a rough idea where to poke... but if there were no belts there, there will be a plastic blanking plug which will need removing first.

and you could try here for the belts....

the mounting points look the same as a IB or later air cooled porsche and the replacement bolts for the rear of my 964 were only about £1 each from an OPC.. might be worth getting the correct bolts from them

they're not standard pitch (metric fine i think) and are around M16, plus being seatbelt bolts they're supposed to be 10.1 grade or higher i think?..
