Had more time to work on the car today.
First was installing the new seatbelts from seatbeltplanet.com . Decent kit, mostly plug&play, but did require some modifications. First, a few of the mounting holes needed to be opened up a little to use the stock mounting bolts. The bottom seat belt tabs needed to be opened just a little to fit the plastic bushings. And, the center latches needed to be drilled out as well; 14mm would work, but the 9/16" drill I had was close enough.
Second, the kit does not include the bent wire guides that are used on the stock seatbelts. These guides are important because the space the seatbelt reel away from the firewall, and they also keep the belt from rubbing. While I could have cut the old belts to get the guides off, there's no way I could have gotten the guides onto the new belts without modification. So, I modified them.
I used a cutoff wheel in the dremel to slice through the factory welding.
Then, I was able to spread the guide to get it off the old belt and onto the new belt. Once that was done, they mounted just like the stock reels.
And, after it was all done, it looks pretty much stock.
Only difference is the new seatbelt latches don't have any wiring. Unplugging the old latches had the effect of disabling the warning buzzer, so I'm okay with that. I could have used the new belts with the old latches, but the catch tabs didn't fit very well into the latches, and the old-style side release buttons are supposedly not very secure compared to the new-style end buttons.
Then, I installed the fire extinguisher mount I got from Ben ( @mb911 on 914World ). Fortunately, this was a pretty straight-forward installation. I first mounted Ben's bracket, then I placed the fire extinguisher on the bracket. Once the FE was located, I took the bracket off and drilled mounting holes for the FE bracket on Ben's bracket. Then, everything bolted into place.
