Yes, they can. My dad's got them in his. He used Toyota Avensis rear 3 point belts. They're mounted on the panel just under the side window in the back (you know the bit I mean). Worth getting hold of a set of parcel shelf mounted belts from some modern car in a scrappy, although make sure you get the stalks too. You'll obviously want to get some strengthening plates to where you're mounting them.

That's funny Russ I was going to say the same thing, except my Dad used rear belts from a CX in his AK.

without looking I think mine are exactly the same as in the D*lly. Sill mounted reel and top mounted pivot and normal plugging in stalk on the floor... but then, nothing in Jeremy is "normal"

Sure I sent or posted pictures to someone before? Will have a look see if i have them still...

Don't you still need a mounting on the B pillar though? Earlier vans don't have this so you'll have to weld one in. That's why I am 'stuck' wth the static belts in my AZU.

No mount point on the B pillar in this one - over the shoulder into the box section behind your ear.

Im OK with statics, its just that the drivers has been replaced and the stalk is too long and digs into your guts which, god forbid, should I hit anything will not be good for internal organs!

Ideas for where I could get either a short stalk or short fabric clasp?
