Subject:Westy left rear shoulder belt pattern?
From:Shawn Wright
Date:Mon, 24 Sep 2007 21:37:23 -0700

Tonight I installed the right rear shoulder belt from a late model passenger
van in my '88 Westy. Very straightforward using the dimensions in Bentley
for cutting into the panels. Only snag was drilling out rivets on the rear most
snaps to remove the panel, but I replaced with SS screws.

Anyway, I also have the left rear, and have seen several pictures at Gowesty
showing how the rear closet can be cut to allow the belt to go through. Does
anyone happen to have the details on where the cuts should be, etc.?
Bentley suggests it might be possible to remove the left rear cupboard
without first removing the upper cupboard? This looks tricky - is it better to
just pull the upper one first?

Thanks.
