Subject:SAFETY: VW Bus belts
From:Steven J Bernstein
Date:Tue, 3 May 1994 17:35:15 -0400 (EDT)

Hello all.

I am not a subscriber to this list, so please direct all responses to
stevenb@smc.com or bernstein@smc.com.  When I've compiled enough info, I'd
be happy to post the answers!  Thank you! 

I have friends (who live outside Albany, NY) with a 1986 VW bus and they
want to retrofit three-point harnesses in the back seats for their kids (8
and 10 years old).  Are the pillar mount points there?  Is this possible
to be done?  I would be very surprised if the original models in Europe
*didn't* have proper belts.  Where would be the best place to look for the
hardware (preferably in a junkyard in the USA)?  They're not too handy
with these things, but I am, and could probably be convinced to help them.

Any advice is most appreciated,
 .steve.
