In disassembling my '67 Westy for final paint, I noticed these two little plastic knob looking things at the top of the B pillar. What are they? They appear to have no function. Mine are crusty and I would like to replace them if possible.
This is not my bus, just grabbed a pic out of the gallery to illustrate the part I am talking about.

Ok one more question relating to the same area of the bus.
I want three point seatbelts. Is there any provision for a shoulder strap mount in the B pillar on a 67, or do I need to cut in a bolt plate? |

Need to cut the pillar and weld a plate in. Check out the Split Bus Australia page for a very nice how too. |

Thank you Toolbox, that is exactly what I was looking for.
If anyone is interested, here is a hotlinked picture showing the measurements posted on that site.

I have seen a few buses where they through bolted the seat belt shoulder strap hanger. They just used a carrage style bolt drilled a hole through the B pillers and bolted it up. All I have seen were either in 66/67 Westys or Sundial campers. Must have been a dealer thing

My '64 deluxe has that hole, I'm told it was dealer installed.
