Porsche's four-cylinder 912 shares the 911's body and much of its charm, and its belts deserve the same attention. Seatbelt Planet's 912 belt is a non-retractor-fed three-point strap with a lift latch buckle and snaphook end fittings, which clip onto anchor eyes instead of bolting straight to the floor. Hardware is included.
Fit Details
This belt is listed for either front seat in 1965-1969 Porsche 912 models, in the snaphook end fitting version.
Color Choices
Choose from 52 webbing colors, 13 premium. Lift latch finish: chrome, or a black wrinkle coat.
Time for New Belts?
Fixed three-point belts were common in sixties European cars, and a fresh belt restores that period look while giving the occupant shoulder restraint.
Caring for Your Belts
Keep the snaphooks seated on their anchors, wipe the webbing with mild soap, and avoid letting the strap hang in the door opening.
About the Porsche 912 Snaphook
The 912 used a 1.6-liter flat-four derived from the 356, which made it lighter at the rear and more affordable than the 911. Many buyers appreciated its balance and economy, and it outsold the 911 in its early years.
Pre-Install Checklist
Confirm your car has anchor eyes for snaphook fittings at each mounting point, and clean the threads of any eyes you are reinstalling.
Good to Know
One belt, snaphook ends.
Snaphook fittings make the belt easy to remove, which some owners like for cleaning or when the car is stored.
If your car has bolt-down anchor points instead, choose the bolt-down end fitting version.
Fixed belts have no reel to hide in the pillar trim, which keeps the cabin close to how many 912s looked when new.
For both seats, order two with identical color and buckle choices.
Snaphook belts were a popular design in European cars of the sixties because the hook clips onto an eye bolt and can be unclipped in seconds when the carpet or seats come out.
Because this belt has no retractor, the length is set by the adjuster and stays put, which some drivers prefer in a car used for spirited back-road driving.
The lift latch buckle opens by lifting its cover plate, a motion that is easy to do with gloves on and that feels natural in a vintage Porsche cockpit.
Pair this belt with the matching rear lap kit to give a 912 a complete, consistent set of restraints front and back.
Remember that the snaphook version needs anchor eyes at each point, while the bolt down version fastens straight into threaded holes.
The snaphook layout also makes vacuuming the 912 floor much easier.
