I've got a GoWesty belt sitting here waiting to be installed.  The KT122
is about 130" long and looks exactly like these generic belts, except
for the brass mounting end piece, which is a little smaller and maybe
more angled than these $80 ones.  GoWesty also includes some mounting
hardware (bolt/lock washer/spacer/o-ring to hold spacer on).

GoWesty also sells the genuine VW female end, which is about 9" long.

Not trying to undercut GoWesty here, since I *did* buy their ready-to-go
solution, but more to calm nerves. Since theirs looks like an
aftermarket non-VW setup, they should be able to get more in stock.

Will.

Seems like both Bus Depot and Go Westy are out of stock and they may be discontinued for good.  Does anyone have any suggestions - used parts or alternatives to three point seatbelts?  By the summer both car seats will be facing front.
