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!

Subject: Anyone install 3 point rear seat belts in camper??

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
