Subject:      Westy Rear Shoulder Belts
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Just got an estimate from my mechanic to retrofit a
shoulder harness for the right side of the rear seat
in my 84 westfalia, and it seems reasonable.


My question is:  The VW service bulletins don't cover
a left-side conversion, presumably because the belt
needs to be bolted to the body, and the closet is in
the way. Has anybody figured out a way to retrofit on
the left side, either going through the closet or
bolting to the top of the engine housing?  Doable?


My concern is that it just doesn't seem quite far for
the adults in front to be safe and for the kids to
just have lap belts.  Kids are growing out of car
seats.
