Rear seat belt question

911finally · 01-26-2009, 12:54 PM

Does anyone know if a set of rear 3-point seat belts from a 964 or 993 will bolt into a 80's carerra that has the factory mountings in place?

I'm not having much luck finding an OEM or replacement set for a carerra, I have a WTB ad in the Used Parts forum already...

Thanks!

I don't know about the 964 or 993 equivalent, but I found a set at

http://www.ladismantler.com/

When I got mine last August, they had a few on hand.

I wrote a quick article on the install on my blog site (noted below my signature)

Thanks Todd, would you mind telling me what you paid (by PM if you prefer)? I found a pair at another dismantler yesterday and they asked for $350 which I politely declined to pay at this stage of my search...

If you want to try very low budget.... I bought old shoulder belts from the rear of a BMW E30 on ebay for $10. The buckles fit into the old lap belt latches. I am not sure if the mount is the same. My car is an '82 so no mounting points, so I used a mounting plate made by Autoloc.

hi, to what did you mount the autloc should straps too. any reinforcements.

The reinforcing mounting plate was an anchor plate by autoloc (the shoulder belt was from an old BMW). Look up on ebay "autoloc anchor." I drilled a hole in rear deck and put the reinforcement anchors in from the engine compartment.

I installed the 964 rear ones in my 84...Just need to trim the upper deck a bit.

LFogelson,

Thanks I've spotted them on Ebay, I will also have a look at the e30 rear belts too....seems very do-able. Must admit the rear shelf of a early porsche seems so sheet-metal thin, only visualising the scenario of the pull stresses on the rear shelf and subsequent rear passenger safety upon (god forbid) front-end impact.

Zef,

Have you got a link to the image of your 964 installation? Has its got retractable shoulder belts.

Cheers, Jaz

911finally,

Sorry for the late reply. I paid $250 for my set. Not cheap, but cheaper than your $350 deal.

Most of the salvage yards will bargain a bit with you also, so don't hesitate to make a lower offer.
