[QUOTE="orpheusvw, post: 646994, member: 13990"] If a spreader plate was made to be at least as big as the base and bolted underneath I’d be fairly happy the bolts wouldn’t pull through, not sure about how much the panel would deform in a crash situation, although from memory there are ribs welded underneath front to back which in theory should reinforce the panel. The issue I’ve found is that there always seems to be a compromise with going for 3 point belts in our vans, even the factory point under the window isn’t that big a reinforcement plate in a fairly flimsy area. The extenders that heritage sell are designed for late bays from what I’ve read, so requires something welding into the side panel as you cant access the rear of that area. I could go with just lap belts in the factory points low down but in a crash situation they aren’t ideal either. These seem the best solution I’ve seen so far… [/QUOTE]
