We got one of S J Baxter's extra long quality belts - to go round the back of a rearward facing child seat for the little one. Positioned in the LH rear bench seat.
Good news was it was very long and no problem going round the seat and plenty to spare (pity after all my work we turned the seat forward facing a couple of weeks later!!
)Some pics to illustrate.
Before
The old lap belts from above
Middle mounts from below - wanted to grind off from below but too scared - if you don't understand - go out and find where they are on your van and hold a grinder up to them (don't turn it on though!):shock:
I ended up grinding off from above (again - they were NOT coming undone...ever) - with carpet everywhere - this was a bit fire risky - so extinguisher and hose were to hand
Point 2 under wheel arch - we had lap belts already but there was no way this was coming undone - so ground off and replaced with supplied new nut and plate
Panel behind where it all happens
Fourth point where the reel mounts - holes already there, bolts supplied in kit.
This is where it disappears behind the panel - the carpeted bit is the parcel shelf (bed) support
Only buggeration was the third point hole. This shows the indent already there from VW (I have cut away a bit of window surround)
Drilled this out - then offerred up the supplied plate and bolt - and the plate is a bit too big (see following)
So "adjusted" the plate
Third Point finished
The finished belt
And no probs with the bed - just slip it round the side when bed comes down.
Any other questions?
