I have a pair of trim panels at home which have a hole in (from the factory) which appears to be for this purpose. Of course this won't work on a Fasty or Notch as the parcel shelf gets in the way. Unless you got a bit "dark" and cut slots for the belt to pass through, mounting the retractor in the boot (trunk) as on modern cars. BTW does anybody want a pair of nos side trim panels for a Square in silver-grey vinyl? (with holes for seat belt retractors?!) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web! Visit http://www.vwtype3.org/list/
