You might want to look into a "Y" harness like this: http://www.ezonpro.com/products/familyVehicle/86yHarness.shtml

  for your Multivan. You should be able to mount them on the front edge of the engine deck.

  Good luck,

  I would really like to install the 3 point seat belts in the back seat of my Multivan. The two options available are:
1). The stock type reels that locate inside the body(per Bentley 68.7) and run through a loop on their way to passenger; or 2). the enclosed reel that bolts directly to the wall (where the "loop" would attach) behind the passenger's head.
The factory method would be cheaper but I'd have to cut a slot on the pass side for the belt feed. Then I'd have to route the driver side rigging through the multivan cabinet. I can imagine the belts then never getting snug, always hanging loose and being less useful/safe. The retro-fit enclosed reels available at Go Westy cost about $210 and they will protrude into the cabin. I don't think this would be too much of a problem. Or would it? This is for kids.
Any comments, advise or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
