Early long-hood 911s are some of the most collectible sports cars in the world, and their interiors are judged as closely as their engines. Seatbelt Planet's single belt for the 1965-1968 Porsche 911 replaces one front seat restraint with a retractable lap and shoulder belt that closes with a lift latch buckle, the style most people associate with vintage European sports cars. Mounting hardware is included.
Vehicle Fit
Seatbelt Planet lists this belt for the driver or passenger seat of 1965-1968 Porsche 911 models, the original short-wheelbase cars built before the 1969 wheelbase stretch.
Choosing a Color
The webbing list runs to 52 shades, with 13 premium. Buckle finish choices: bright chrome lift latch, or black wrinkle lift latch. Black, tan and red are popular choices for early 911 interiors.
Why Upgrade?
A belt that has faded, frayed or lost its retractor spring takes away from an otherwise careful restoration. A fresh belt with a crisp lift latch makes the cockpit feel right again and gives the occupant a proper three-point restraint.
Maintenance
Lift the latch fully before pulling the tongue out, let the reel take up the strap slowly, and wash the strap in lukewarm, lightly soapy water instead of solvent.
About the Early Porsche 911
Porsche introduced the 911 for 1965 as the successor to the 356, with an air-cooled flat-six mounted behind the rear axle. The first cars rode on a shorter wheelbase than later models, which gives them a distinctive feel and makes them prized by collectors today.
Pre-Install Checklist
Clean the threads at the sill-side floor anchor and at the pillar mount so the included bolts start by hand.
Good to Know
Sold as one belt for one seat.
The lift latch buckle is a period-correct look for a sixties Porsche, and the black wrinkle finish suits cars restored with a subdued, original-style cabin.
A single belt is sensible if just one side is worn, or if you prefer to spread the work of a full interior refresh over time.
Early 911 cockpits are snug, and a retractor keeps the shoulder strap close to the pillar so it does not drape across the narrow seat or the shifter.
Pick the same shade and buckle finish later for the opposite seat.
Collectors restoring an early 911 to show standard often bring the belts in near the end, once the seats and carpet are done, so the colors can be matched in person.
Short-hood owners often note the belt color in their build records.
