Tired of those seat belts that won't retract anymore? Is the webbing all worn and frayed? Swap out your tired old retracting inertia reels with these quality USA-made replacements.

Sold individually. Two required per vehicle. Reel and webbing only. No receiver included.

Fits: All 1984-91 Vanagon models, front driver or passenger side. The reason we sell this product for '84 and later is due to the earlier (1980-83) connector/receiver design. If you have an earlier van, please purchase our 3-Point Retracting Seat Belt w/ Reel.

Important installation note: There is an orange plastic clip on the seat belt reel. DO NOT REMOVE until the belt in fully installed. 

NO RETURNS ON INSTALLED SEAT BELT KITS.

Fit Notes

1) We have intentionally made the webbing shorter than the original webbing length so that the retracting action is as strong and snappy as it can be. That said, the configuration of these vehicles is such that you cannot expect the retracting action to be anything like your typical, modern vehicle. This is especially true of the driver side on a camper where the belt webbing has to run through a special guide to keep it from rubbing on the galley cabinetry.

2) While it is theoretically possible to increase the spring action in the retractor so that the belt would snap back much more briskly when exiting the vehicle, the added force against your shoulder while in use would be bothersome at the very least, intolerable at worst. This especially true in these vehicles where you often find yourself leaning forward and over the steering wheel because, well, that is just what you do when you are driving a VW van!

3) Because of the webbing is shorter than the original, we recommend a new longer flexible receiver for use with this seat belt, available separately, or in our full seat belt kit (KT-VANO-ERA) for a discount! This also has the benefit of moving the receiver up, which makes it easier to fasten your seat belt. Full campers have a ridiculously short receiver because of the swivel seat but because our new receivers are flexible, the seat still swivels easily. On top of all those reasons, the thing is over 30 years old!

Gets the Creative Juices Flowing
Format: Paperback
I picked up this book after hearing Kim Addonizio give a reading at my college when I was an undergraduate. Creative Writing and poetry were my areas of emphasis and although we used a different textbook in my poetry class, I came to love this one. It won't give you the formal training in meter and poetic forms that another textbook might, but I love the examples and the prompts for inspiration. It's my favorite book to turn to when I feel the creative well is running dry. It's warm and funny and you feel a real presence from the authors as if you have teachers with you. I haven't met Dorianne Laux, but I have chatted with Kim Addonizio twice after readings and she was lovely. (Her readings are fantastic, by the way, and I highly recommend them!) If you are familiar with Kim Addonizio'ss poems then you shouldn't be surprised to find a section on erotic poetry in this book. Erotic poems have a long tradition in poetry and they are not "porn" as one reviewer suggested. Sexuality and sensuality are part of life and the artistic expression of such is a special skill set. I think it's fantastic that this book doesn't sensor that. I love the examples chosen for this book--many beautiful, contemporary poems that utilize vivid and unexpected imagery. I find them inspiring. They make me want to write and they make me want to be a better writer. I do believe that if you are a beginner or if you are considering this book as a textbook for a class you should consider it as a supplement to a book that goes into a little more depth in certain areas, such as Writing Poems (see if you can get an older edition, if you are lucky, as I see this book has become quite expensive). But this is a fantastic little book and I love having both a hard copy to underline and put notes in and a Kindle copy to keep with me on my phone so I can have a little inspiration with me for easy access. No matter where you are in your journey as a poet, I believe this is a wonderful book to have in your library.

Received brand new book in perfect condition for less than ten dollars
Format: Paperback
Received brand new book in perfect condition for less than ten dollars. I needed this exact book for a creative writing course and I enjoy the exercises within the different sections. They are very thought provoking and creativity stimulating and would be excellent inspiration for any poetic or even descriptive writer. Also, I find the writing style of the author amazingly easy to read. It is simple and straightforward, easy to follow and not boring as some other texts are. The tone is inspirational honestly, always providing tips and writing encouragement. This is a nice positive twist and delightful different perspective for aspiring writers and though it sounds to be directed at amateurs, I think any author who may experience writer's block at times could find this useful and full of insight to try out fresh perspectives to pen about topics that may be applied to a broad range of subjects. Quality informative and yet uplifting text regarding poetic writing!

Practical, Useful, Down to Earth, Inspiring!
Format: Paperback
I love this book. After reading the first chapter early one morning I went outside to feed and water my cats and came in and wrote a poem about flowing water, tangled morning glories and memories of my mother. It's one of the most inspiring, practical and encouraging books about writing poetry that I've ever read, and trust me, I've read them all. It has technical information and poems to illustrate each chapter, which is very helpful. The suggestions at the end of each chapter are down to earth and do-able, unlike some books that are just too high-minded for the average person. If you love to write poems and just need some inspiration and a little advice and encouragement, then definitely buy this book. It's worth its weight in gold!

Took me by surprise 😮
Format: Paperback
The revised part of my review: I do agree with a reviewer; Thomas "Should Have Been Better" Especially his paragraph here: [Unless (like the authors) you think that Sharon Olds' "passing blood and feces and water" and her "stool black with iron pills" (page 234) are high points in the world of modern poetry, you may resist their suggestion to "read all five of her books, for pleasure first, of course, but secondly to examine how she goes about her difficult task" (page 47).] As I have read more, I am reevaluating my own opinions of this book. I still feel it has been helpful, although much of it I would have preferred to have never read! Poor choice of examples to a student indeed! This, is my original review: I thought it was going to be a bunch of lame assignments, well there definitely are some assignments so to speak. I haven't even made it through half of the 1st chapter and I've written 6 or 7 new reflections (which some call poetry)! It digs deep, at least it did for me...pretty personal when you open yourself up to it. Good challenge and good lessons to glean from and grow as a writer. I still plan on keeping this around, probably with a few pages removed.
