Hey Everyone. I need a couple pics. First of all, does anyone have a pic of the backside of a front door handle? I need to figure out which way to bolt on the lock mechanism thingy (the L shaped piece). Also, does anyone have a picture of the seat belt buckle and where it mounts on the floor/seat area? Thanks!

Thanks for the pic! That retractable belt is interesting. I may have to look into that. For now though, I need the buckle. I have two belts but no buckles! I am wondering if anyone has a pic of where the buckle mounts. I see no holes or anything where mine should mount. I think it has vanagon seats though.... maybe they are covering the mounting holes. Pics will help. Thanks!

the key isn't even in the handle, wtf? the L piece only goes on in one correct position.

Haha! Cut me some slack... I had just woken up, lol! I was just thinking that if you had the key spun one way (locked or unlocked) then the L piece would spin with it. Anyways.... looks like I put mine on backwards. Thanks!

the piece does move when the key is turned, since it is attached to the end of the lock cylinder, and the "L" piece is what moves the arm on the latch mechanism to lock or unlock. in the neutral, key not turned position, it only goes on one way, as pictured.

As you sit in the drivers seat let your right arm fall straight down into the walk through. Just behind your hand and a bit lower and toward the rear of the bus you should see a bolt hole in the pedestal.

Sounds good... Thanks! Now to find some buckles!

Hey Hazetguy. Do you have any pics of how the springs fit under the L shaped piece? The round ones? Turns out I don't have them in correctly. Thanks.
