Hello,

I'm a Vanagon newbie (86 GL with an awesome huge sliding sunroof!), and
I've been on the list lurking and learning for a few years now. I recently
bought some shoulder belts from GoWesty. I've got two kids in carseats and
modern carseats are not considered safe with lap belts.

I took the belts to my trusted local shop and they told me the couldn't
install them for liability reasons. Strange. Called another local
Vanagon-oriented shop and they offered to order and install shoulder belts
for me quickly, but also cited liability in installing user-supplied parts.
(I'm guessing this doesn't apply to other parts (i'm sure if I hauled in a
pick'n'pull'd dashboard they would install), but I suppose the point is
moot. )

Admittedly, I'd taken these to the shop once I felt unsure that I'd be able
to install them correctly; I'm not a mechanical idiot but also felt like
this was an update I'd want done by professionals.
I think I'm going to go with shop #2.

Now, my question is - anyone on the list want to buy some shoulder belts
for cheap? Let's say $150 shipped.They are unopened, still in the box.

Thanks in advance...
