It was just a bolt in and go situation. > I bought my 66 Squareback from the original owners and they had the avocado green lap-only belts installed at the dealer with the airplane-style latches and Wolfsburg emblems (kind of like the reproduction belts they sell now, but much better quality and nicer looking latch and emblem). They also have the retractors installed on them so they somewhat retract to a small roll next to the seat (one is broken, so if anyone has any spare retracting devices, I could use one) I am sure these belts are fairly common, but the mounts at the bottom of the door and carpet collars sure do look original, and the original owner took delivery in December of 1965. So, what I guess I am trying to say here is that I have never seen any '66 come without the outer lower mounting holes. Is this perhaps something that was specific to the Type 34's? -Yancy Everhart ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
