Rear Seat shoulder belt retractors
Does anyone know if there is a right and left to the rear seat shoulder belt retractors? I am doing a 3 point seat belt install on my 86 Carrera and from the perforations in the sound padding under the deck lid it appears that the left side and right side should be mirror images, but the supplier (not our host) shipped what appear to be two left sides to me. Before returning, I want to make sure I know what I am talking about.

Did you browse the host's parts section here:
Porsche 911 & Carrera Seats, Belts & Upholstery - Page 1 or look through the PET? |

Yes, but our host appears to sell only rear lap belt pieces, not the shoulder belt pieces. What is PET (pardon me, I only recently acquired a Porsche)

Clarify if you mean:
A) The front seat seat belts, or B) The rear jump seat seat belts |

Thanks for the assistance. There are a number of threads on the site regarding this and I am well advanced on the project. However, my specific question is whether the seat belt reels for the rear shoulder belts come in a left side version and a right side version. My understanding is there is only a single part number for this, and my parts supplier is suggesting there is only one version of this part, but the perforated sound deadening insulation shapes in my car indicating where the reels go clearly contemplates that there is a left and right version (as the part is not symmetrical). However, I have not been able to find any other evidence one way or the other.

I do not believe mine were right/left specific and I do remember a little 'modification'...
Not my car but I found this picture that shows two belt assemblies that are the same orientation.  -John

Thanks Fuchs. I will go with the ones I have and later if I discover that there is indeed a right and left I can always swap out the "wrong" one. I appreciate the input.
