Did the same thing, adapting the seat belts from a Volvo 240. Not easy
though, because the longer belts from the front seats had to be paired
with the horizontal mechanisms from the back seats. There *must* be a
simpler solution; what was yours?

Question: Is Bilstein a particular brand or is it a particular design?
What makes them great and how much more do they cost than regular shocks?

Thanks!
