There's a thread on the Syncro pages on how to secure a laptop to the dashboard.
Or do you mean lap belts?

can you do a 'new' (as in never had before) install for seatbelts? I thought they had to be done by certified / registered installers? Replacing and repairing is DIY do-able but not installing, that's what we we're told by a few garages when we had ours done.


could have been a sales pitch though :oops:

I think when a vehicle is built before 1994 it is ok to retro fit seatbelts in the rear, although I'm not sure how I knows that?
One thing I do know is it is not compulsory to have seatbelts in the back of a campervan if it was first registered before 1990 from a mot point of view .

If your van was a panel van you will need to drill and reinforce the mounting points, if it was originally a caravelle or bus the mounting points will be in the body and will just need uncovering
