Adding a 3-point Seat belt to VW Sprinter Seats – Iveco Daily Van Conversion Build Week 4
Week 4 has been a busy one. So busy in fact that we had to split the video into two parts!
Firstly Mark fitted the 3-point seat belts to the VW Sprinter seats with some jiggery pokery and a lot of skill! So thankful for his ability to get creative and safely work out how to do things. If there are two skills required for a van conversion above all else it is creativity and adaptability.
During Week 4 of our Iveco Daily Van Conversion we also discovered an exposed wire behind the insulation. As you can imagine it made us panic as it is a fire risk. So, we also made the decision to remove the vapour barrier, insulation and check through everything. It also gave us the opportunity to work out how we could add all the wiring required safely – introducing conduit!
Grace has been in her element learning new skills, it has helped so much with her confidence. Mark seems pretty happy about passing on his skills and having the 1-2-1 with Grace too.
In the video you will also see our expanding foam work around. We also used the expanding foam for the small gaps in the floor to finish it off.
New Window
Our next decision was about a window. We thought it would be better for the girls to have a windoe added where they are sitting. We may add another one to the sliding too but at the moment we are undecided.
We brought the window from Trade Glass UK on ebay. We were very impressed with the quality and delivery but make a note, these windows do not come with instruction. That was a lot of youtube research!
You’ll see more on the window installation on the next post 🙂
After a few people from our Facebook Page asked about the products we used I created an easy to shop Van Build List on our Amazon Shop we may get a small commission when you click on our links at no additional cost to you and as always appreciate your support.
Join us in Week 4 Part 1 and Week 4 Part 2 to see how our Iveco Daily van Conversion is progressing. If you missed week 2 we shared rust protecting the floor.
