Vikings arent all panel van conversions but most are. As said above if it was a microbus or Kombi that was converted then it will have all you need to install them provided they havent rotted out. In a viking converted from a van with the mounting points the rearmost seats can have 1 lap and either a lap or 3 point in the seat near the window. With the front seats in rear-facing mode then you could fit 2 lap belts or if you wanted 3 point these would need to be doubled up on the existing top mountings (possible). As said above there are spare fixings in the walkthrough or again you can double up but you will need to fit some plates to the bulkhead or through the arch as Ive never seen factory seat belt mounts in this position. If you want belts for the seats to allow use in froward mode when slid back then I wouldnt recomment this as difficult to do and also I think even in a light crash the seats would just slide forward anyway as there isnt a lot holding them back!
so you got them all except the wheel arch ones have rotted out and been welded up that's easy to fix, drill a 13mm hole and get a plate mounted on the other side, ten mins with a welder and your sorte
just the wheel arch mount i think you need buddy, do the mounts below the window have threaded holes? If not, you may need those too.
Dont think you even need to weld then tbh. Proprietry spreader plate with nut welded in will be adequate I beleieve.
Cool, yeah the holes below the windows are threaded. Next question, any one know were I can get some seatbelts and the mounting plate?
I would recommend checking the quality of the welded patch and look at it from behind to see whether it is hiding anything. Mine had a patch which looked ok but after a bit of digging I found it was welded over rust:
Just kampers sell them You dont even need to weld the spreader plate in to be honest The spreader plate fits on the rear of the arch and a hole is drilled in the arch to allow the bolt to pass through into the spreader plate Once the bolts tighten up with the belt in place the spreader plate would have to pull through the arch for it to come unstuck So the only real reason for welding the plate in is to stop it falling to the floor when you remove the seatbelt bolt You could pop rivit the spreader plate into place to retain it in position when the bolts removed Brucie to me it looks like you have all the fitting in place from the factory so its just a case of checking the mountings are strong and not rotten then bolting your belts in
i got all my seatbelts and mounting plates and bolts from Justkampers, Securon seatbelts. heres what i ordered ignore the retractable rear lap belt, i got the 3 point on instead. Hope this helps with item numbers B
IMO those spreader plates aren't man enough, they're not a patch on the originals which are along the lines of the ones you'll find under the front arch.
If you buy a rear arch repair it comes with the correct spreader plate, the little square ones jk etc sell are fine they are manufactured for the job by a seat company they are universal is all. Fitted them to many cars
