Later 914s moved to retracting belts, and Seatbelt Planet's single belt for the 1973-1976 Porsche 914 follows that layout. It is an inertia-reel three-point belt with an end-release buckle, suited to either front seat.
Vehicle Fit
Listed for either front seat of 1973-1976 Porsche 914 models.
Choosing a Color
Pick from 52 webbing colors, 13 premium.
Why Upgrade?
A retracting belt is more comfortable than a fixed strap and stows itself when you climb out, which keeps the webbing out of the door.
Maintenance
Let the reel retract slowly and wash the webbing with mild soap.
About the 1973-1976 Porsche 914
The later 914 gained larger engines, including a 2.0-liter four, and the 1974 and later cars wore heavier bumpers to meet new rules.
Pre-Install Checklist
Fasteners are not packed with this belt; plan on using your existing bolts if they are sound. Inspect the retractor mounting point and clean its threads.
Good to Know
One retractable belt.
Retractors keep the belt tidy in the 914's compact cabin.
A twin in that shade can go on the opposite seat.
Later 914s are popular drivers' cars, and new belts make them more pleasant to use.
End release buckles are easy to find and quick to release.
Choose a darker color if the car is often driven with the roof panel removed.
The retractor lets the strap move with you and locks under sudden load, which makes long drives more comfortable.
Later 914s are often driven regularly, and the driver's belt takes the most wear.
Line up suitable bolts before the work starts.
The 2.0-liter cars are especially popular with enthusiasts for their extra torque.
An end release buckle is quick to use when you are getting in and out often.
Many owners keep their 914 for decades, and a fresh belt is part of that long-term care.
By 1973 Porsche had moved the 914 to retracting belts, and the cars from this era are generally the most refined of the range, with improved shift linkage and larger engines. A new retracting belt keeps that refinement in the cabin.
Bumper changes for 1974 and 1975 altered the car's look, but the cabin layout stayed familiar, so this belt is listed across the full 1973-1976 span.
If you are replacing both seats, order two belts in the same color at the same time.
Retracting belts need their reels kept clean and dry, so avoid letting rain into the cabin when the roof panel is off. A quick wipe of the belt slot keeps the reel working smoothly for years.
A retracting belt also helps when the targa roof is off, because the strap winds away instead of fluttering at speed.
Late 914s with fresh belts make relaxed, comfortable weekend cars.
