David,
I don't have the belts you want but I am just bought a set to install in
my van. Actually only going to install the one behind pass as I have a
Westy. I followed what another list member did and welded a small
section of tubing to a small flat 1"wide by 2" long steel. If you don't
have a welder or access to one I have seen what another Vanagon
owner did. He used a two large allen bolts and then bolted them to the
floor.
He then drilled the head out to accept the legs on the bottom of the seat.
He said he got the bolts at the local hardware store. It provided a very
rugged mounting point.
