Folks,
I suspect the tech bulletins to be:
V689103 REAR 3-POINT SEAT BELTS, RETROFIT INSTAL
or
V689104 AUTO 3PNT LFT CNTR SEAT-BELT RETROFIT IN
This is from http://www.vw.ddsltd.com/, with a search on Vanagon with
'belt' keyword.
Since this is tech bulletin, NOT recall, I expect this to be at cost...
