Lift Latch Buckles

Hardware
Seatbelt Planet includes eyebolt mounting hardware kit #5 with this kit.
Webbing Colors
Choose from 52 webbing colors to match your interior, from factory-correct black to custom shades.
Installation
These belts are made to use the factory mounting points. Check that the anchor points are solid and rust-free before installing, and tighten all hardware to spec.
Why New Belts
Belts in a 356 of this age have seen decades of sun and heat. New belts restore protection while keeping the interior looking right.
Matching the Interior
Porsche offered many interior colors over the years. Black is the safe factory choice, but matching the webbing to leather or cloth gives a finished, custom look.
Choosing a Webbing Color
Pick a color that matches your seats or carpet, or choose black for a factory look. If you are matching an original interior, compare against a clean, unfaded area of the old belt or trim.
Before You Order
Check your mounting points and the condition of the floor and pillar where the belt will attach. Rust or damaged metal should be repaired before any seat belt is installed.
Caring for Your Belts
Clean webbing with mild soap and water and let it air dry. Avoid bleach and harsh cleaners, which can weaken the fibers. Replace any belt that has been in a collision.
Why Replace Old Belts
Seat belt webbing ages. Sunlight, heat and years of use weaken the fibers even when a belt still looks fine. New belts restore the protection the car was meant to have.
Wearing Belts Correctly
The lap portion should sit low across the hips, not the stomach, and the shoulder portion should cross the chest and collarbone, away from the neck. A belt that is twisted or loose gives less protection.
Retractable Convenience
A retractor keeps the webbing off the floor and out of door jambs when the belt is not in use, and it locks under sudden stops or hard braking.
Made in the USA
Seatbelt Planet builds its belts in the United States, using webbing and hardware that meet federal safety standards.
