The 356B and 356C cars of 1962-1965 were the final evolution of Porsche's first production model. Seatbelt Planet's front lap belt kit for these years uses classic lift latch buckles and nickel-plated snap hook fittings for a period look.
Where It Fits
Fits the driver and passenger front seats of 1962-1965 Porsche 356 models.
Color Options
The 356 kit is offered in 52 webbing colors, specialty shades at a surcharge. The buckle option offers chrome or black wrinkle finish.
Why Replace Old Belts?
Original 356 belts, if fitted at all, are now very old. New lap belts give the cabin a proper restraint while keeping the look correct for the era.
Care Tips
Clean the webbing with a soft soap, and polish chrome buckles with a soft cloth.
About the 356 Front Lap Belt Kit
The 356C of 1964-1965 brought four-wheel disc brakes to the 356, and it remained in production until the 911 and 912 took over.
Pre-Install Checklist
Inspect the floor mounting points for the eyebolts, and clean any rust from the threads.
Good to Know
A matched pair of lift latch lap belts.
Seatbelt Planet shows eight images on this listing.
Snap hook fittings let the belts clip onto eyebolts for a neat factory look.
The black wrinkle buckle is a popular choice for a more period-correct cabin.
Seatbelt Planet sews both 356 belts as a set.
The 356B introduced the raised bumpers and larger headlight rims that set the later cars apart, and the T6 body of 1962 added twin engine lid grilles and an external fuel filler on the front fender.
Eyebolt mounting with snap hooks is a classic arrangement in cars of this era, and it lets the belts be unclipped easily when the seats are out.
Chrome buckles look bright against a dark interior, while the black wrinkle finish has a more understated, period look.
Many 356 owners take their cars to concours events and club rallies, where a tidy interior with correct-looking belts makes a good impression.
Seatbelt Planet's text mentions 32 colors, but the current option lists 52.
Unclip the 356 belts at the snap hooks whenever the seats come out for cleaning.
