seat belt mod question

Gentlemen and/or Ladies,

I have a ’69 911T, and just did a seat belt mod by way of upgrading to later model Porsche recoiling belts. The recoiling mechanism bolted on nicely to an already existing nut which was welded to the body. Strange to find a nut there since I’ve never heard of optional recoiling seat belts on a 1969 model car.

In any case, my stock interior trim piece (recoiling seat belt cover) is no longer appropriate since its shape does not accommodate a recoiling seatbelt mechanism. Later model Porsches (1974 and beyond) have the recoiling mechanism mounted in different place to mine so a trim piece from that era won’t work.

I’ve been told that Porsche made a “box” that bolted on to an early model trim piece like mine which covered the recoiling mechanism. Apparently, this box was available on ’72 or ’73 model year cars when the recoiling belts became optional. I’ve yet to seen one. Question(s): Does such a thing exist, and where can I get two? If they are rare, then I’m open to other suggestions. Thanks, jeffy
