I've been searching for info about this as well. Found this old thread which is interesting, but not many pics of a 3-point belt on the furniture side:

We have the added complication of having the lpg tank in the wardrobe so I'm not sure if it will be possible for us, so might have to go for a harness instead.

Here's one of the pics that RedSquirrel originally posted in that old thread (but it isn't an inertia belt by the looks of it):

That's great, thanks Lee. Not sure how I missed that thread when searching the old posts. I never even thought of trying to do it from that side, doh!!

I wonder if there's any businesses a bit further north than London that would do a similar installation :?:

From the linked topic:

Looks like the centre rear belt setup from a first generation Renault Megane, get one from the scrap yard and save yourself a hundred quid or so?

Any suggestions about how / what it's fixed to? I know Brickwerks sell the repair plate which can be used for mounting rear seatbelts, but can it be used in this location? Looks like it's located where the air vent is, but we already have one belt that's fixed there on the non-furniture side of our van (i.e. n/s).

Some pics in this thread, which possibly explain how to add an additional mounting point in this area of the van:

My rear three point is mounted in the cupboard.
When i have rear passengers i use a spacer and bungee arrangement to allow the belt to move without sagging.
Passed the MOT with no issues noted.
When i upgrade the interior i might:
1 - put a hole in the wardrobe door
2 - take the wardrobe out and have a continuous workshop front to back.
Good luck with whatever you do.
