I installed the GoWesty 3 point belt on just the passenger side of my '85 Westy's rear seat. It was a quick and easy install and I love it. I can't imagine one working really well on the "Cabinet" or driver's side, though. Mike '84 GL 7 pass '85 GL Westy

Then I'd have to route the driver side rigging through the multivan cabinet. I can imagine the belts then never getting snug, always hanging loose and being less useful/safe. The retro-fit enclosed reels available at Go Westy cost about $210 and they will protrude into the cabin. I don't think this would be too much of a problem. Or would it? This is for kids. > Any comments, advise or suggestions appreciated. > Thanks, > Chris C 90MV > |
