[QUOTE="Clem, post: 633884, member: 15"] When I first became a parent I had a converted panel van as a camper and had no rear seat belt mounts. I used a lap belt in the back, fitted behind a rock and roll bed, to allow the use of a car seat that had its own restraint system, so I was only belting down the seat, not the child. I bought a couple of seat belt mounts that were essentially a thick guage square piece of metal with a bolt welded to them, and that's all they need to be. I drilled bolt sized holes though the rear bulkhead and bolted them through, mounting the spreader plates externally. I popped on some weld to secure them but realistically I'm not sure it added anything? I feel that if the metal you mount to is strong and the mounts are good then the strength is there. If I did it again I reckon I'd bond them in place. Anyway, after that I bought Westy with factory mounts. [/QUOTE]
