Hi Guys,
I am looking at a few westy's at the moment with full on camper interior
I have two young children and need 3 point seatbelts in the rear.
How can these be fitted in early westy's with camper interior as it seems the wardrobe would have to be cut somehow??
Appreciate any help.
Take care,
jamie

And to cut up cupboards as well ? Didn't think you could obstruct a seat belt going through cupboards?
Appreciate your help.

Hey, didnt think of that!
on rethinking how about making another hole below and putting in a capsulated nut seeing as its the clamping action that will hold the winder to the van. or make a bracket to bolt into the first hole and hold the winder. Saves cutting the cuboard. or how about making a slit using a small drill and a jog saw and pass the belt through that?
just ideas,
Jon

Check these out. A little pricey but with the current exchange rate I think it's about £4.75! Gives you an idea though, of how they fit.

nice one looks viable
Not sure about going through cupboards, but then you have no other choice. Perhaps I should just look out for a velle and sod the westy roof
