VW Bus - Westfalia - Installation of Retractable Seat belts

In this video Mike and Shawn install retractable seat belts in the 1979 Westfalia, replacing the ridiculous, uncomfortable, un-usable non-retracting original belts.

Yours is in great condition, I have a 79' but it is a rust bucket

Where did you get that COMPLETE belt assembly?
The one I ordered did not have the offset spacer for the top portion that bolts in by the shoulder.
GREAT VIDEO!

I just bought a set.... 2 3pt and 2 2pt from JBugs and they will come with hardware. It looks like JBugs has hardware for sale separately too.

How do the rear seatbelts go in? I keep reading you have to remove firewall and gas tank underneath to bolt

[@jamie-r2034]

For the 3 point retratable ones? If so, you have to drill a hole though the side where the vents are and everything else bolts in where the original seat belts are at.

did the seat still swivel

[@GarageTime]

Yes, can turn right around!

@@GarageTime did the swivel seat come with the bus or did you convert to it? I have a 71 that I want to do just that and it's hard to find a good source to do so or purchase the needed base.
