Subject:      Help!  No Seat Belts!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Greetings to the list!  This is my first posting on the Vanagon list,
although I have been on the Type2 list since 1996.  I joined that list right
as it was splitting away from v@l, and a few of the names I see here are
still familiar from back in those days!

Anyhow:

I just bought a 1984 Vanagon, it's blue and white with a brown interior.  It
seats seven, but only has enough seat belts for four for some inexplicable
reason.

Seeing as I have three kids and a wife, I really need more seat belts!  I
have noticed that it will be possible to add some three-point belts to the
outward locations; does anyone have a recommendation as to cars to look in
to get these belts for a retrofit?  And do any of you have any that you'd
love to sell to me?  I would be very grateful.

I know that the Volvo station wagon belts are good, but no junkyards around
here seem to have any.  The ones I did find the guy wanted to charge me $150
for used seat belts.  I was not amused.

Thanks for all of your help, now and in the future.
