Are my seatbelts stock?

Just wondering if my seatbelt receivers are stock..

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

the reason i ask is because of these two wires coming out of both receivers..

there is nowhere for the wires to plug in and also no spare indicator light anywhere on the dash to say the belts are no fastened.

Yea...agreed. The two wire connections are stock. But that seat belt receiver...I have never seen. It does not mean that it may not be a a special factory set-up. Ray

Hmmmm weird...there's me thinking the wires where not stock.

So where to they plug in?
and where is the light on the dash?
and shouldn't there be some kind of sensor in the seats as part of the system?

Gotta love these little VW conundrums Laughing

Just checked my manual and it shows the exact same pic you put up. of a left hand drive car Rolling Eyes

No pic in it anywhere of the right hand dash, which is typical of all foreign made cars in this country. Mad

Those look like they are from the 80's stylistically (my education is in industrial design). I've never seen a type that operated like that- looks like something for racing or maybe universal fitment?

I had that type of seat belt recievers factory fitted in my 1974 Super Beetle. However there was no wire connection on them but besides that they look identical (from memory).

I have those exact recievers in my 1976 Saab 99. They are made by Klippan and were very common here in Finland still in the early 80's. I have those similar angle irons where the receivers are attached in my 1972 VW 411 as well. Maybe those receivers taken from another car. I have installed some 80's Saab receivers into my 411 and they had those wires too. The idiot light for the seat belt was not installed in the type 4 cars that were imported to finland. I'm not sure how it was in other markets in the Europe.
