sorry to ressurect an old thread, but has anyone installed a setup similar to this?
the rear tensionercan be mounted at the back above the engine bay with a spreader plate in the engine bay maybe, and the 2 lap belt connections to the existing lapbelt connection points.
the only problem i see if luggage in the back intefers with the belt.
seems like a good way to safely put 2 improved seatbelts in the back and still be able to use the bed.

Just stumbled across this after a long time. As usual, a part number would be more helpful than just the picture. Thank you!

| I have one of these which is an original one out of a Swiss Bus. David Loft in England sold it to me. He is responsible for bringing these brackets to fruition. He went to the original manufacturer and had several runs of these made. I don't know if he just passed the torch to VW Heritage or is supplying them. The original belts used are definitely retractable. Adding additional L brackets at the top where the pivot point of the belt is supposed to bolt up is a terrible idea IMO....this is reinventing the wheel and not how they were intended to be used. If you go over to "The Late Bay" there are 15-20 pages of discussion on these brackets and what belts people used as well as the work around for certain Buses that are missing the extra captive nut in the body. Hope this helps. |
Thanks Hoody. I've been away for quite a while and will see if I can find David Loft or the info on The Late Bay.
