I am looking for a set of brackets that relocate retractable seatbelts. I believe they came in late S Bugs (75 or maybe 76).
I realize they are rare, but maybe some around.
TIA

I think it legally has to be 3mm with radius corners and bends.

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

Here are some photos and measurements of a passenger side bracket that I took for a bloke a few years ago so he could make some. Obviously, the drivers side bracket would be mirror reversed.

My car was engineered and inspected by the RMS with bracket that I made from 1/4 angle iron, they were more worried about the orientation of the reel section, I had to get an email from the seat belt maker Kliken saying that the reel could face north to south or east to west or anywhere in between
