Hiya - I installed the GoWesty 3 point belts on both sides of my rear seat, 87 Westy Weekender. Since the weekender has a full width rear seat one does not have to route the Drvr side belt thru the cabinet, just goes between the glass the cabinet - easy install, hold the kids' booster seat much better - a great add do it!

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, Chris C 90MV
