1984 Carerra Blue Posted 3November, 2010 Report Share Posted 3November, 2010 I'm desperate for a set of rear seat belts for my 84' Porsche 911. I live in Melbourne but I don't know where to start looking? I tried the Porsche dealer but they are awfully expensive and they dont have any in stock so they would have to be ordered. Does anyone know where I could get a set of used belts? Really appreciated, Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 3November, 2010 Report Share Posted 3November, 2010 Hi Ashley, Try Porschapart in mordialloc, they are a wreckers and so should be able to help you out with something like that. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Posted 3November, 2010 Report Share Posted 3November, 2010 Welcome aboard Ashley, Alternatively you could look at new ones through PelicanParts.com, considering we hit parity last night and last time I looked we were 99.9c to the US$, never a better time to buy out of the US... if unfamiliar, check out this thread...

PCM911T Posted 3November, 2010 Report Share Posted 3November, 2010 How valuable are the people you are going to carry in the back seat?? Think they are lap only (and black)? How about generic but standards approved australian made belts from an auto shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnr356 Posted 3November, 2010 Report Share Posted 3November, 2010 imho ,seat belts should never be purchased from wreckers hemco in ballarat or bendigo? can make them to your specs for a reasonable price i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984 Carerra Blue Posted 3November, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 3November, 2010 Thanks everyone! I tried the Porsche dealer but they had none in stock and they are $600 each and will have to be ordered in from Germany. ...then I tried Swan Porsche Parts as apparently they are the biggest second-hand Porsche parts supplier in Australia. Although they had none at the time the knew a company that could do ones that would fit but I would need to drill new holes into the body for the fixings. ...then I tried Pelican Parts - it seems like a great online resource for Porsche parts. They seem to have most of the new genuine Porsche parts to make a full set of rear belts for about $250 each + shipping. What a relief! That was a lot more reasonable. ..then I tried aPorschapart, they also can do a set for about $250 but because they are local there's not shipping cost. I'm assured they would be good enough to meet the ADR's so they sound the best so far. I've saved hundreds of dollars now, so now I'm a happy man! Thanks again!
