Fitting wheelchairestraint system into Multivan floor track system-is this possible?

[Silver Caravelle]

Hi Sunny,

Yes it was Norden that fitted the solo fittings (not the tracks) and Surelok system to my Multivan a few years ago (per my link above). To be honest I could not see much difference between the two brands in terms functionality. The belt setup slides into the solo fittings easliy. I leave the belts in place in the solo fittings anyway. Regards, Scott

Yes Scott agree the system works so good I find it so easy compared with the other style in our old van .

On a related tiopic does anybody know of any system that fits in to the Multivan tracks to act as tie downs (not for a wheelchair) to stop loose objects flying around the van eg I often want to carry a gas stove and bottle.

I would imagine VW may I repeat "may" have some fittings suitable for their tracking system but if not I would approach a couple of the conversion companies who do the wheel chair fittings and ask if you can test one of their tie down straps for tracks , One of the problems with track systems is there are so many different manufacturers and someone else's fittings may not fit in the track . As an alternative you can buy some nice chrome tie downs from accessory stores a couple of those in strategic positions might be the cheaper alternative . we have fitted them to our last few vans and my sons current one as we sometimes carry MX bikes in the back and these tie downs are made for that use . This might be what you are after Macs Single Stud TIE Down Ring Suitable FOR TIE Downs | eBay When I did the conversion on our latest van I fitted 4 marine deck saddles to various points and then bought a shallow cargo net so my wife can load groceries in the back without them flying around the back if you look second photo from the bottom you can see the net it simply unhooks when we load the wheel chairs .New T5 Project Just found these if I had know about them I would have got some for the new van when not in use they are nice and flush .http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PUTCO-999...item5890b0b8d0
