MKII Back Seat Seat Belt with Shoulder Strap

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

Without the bracket, you'd have to mount the retractor horizontally.  It 
must be mounted vertically for it to function properly.  There is a little 
ball bearing that rides on a spring loaded catch.  If its not mounted 
correctly, the retractor will never release or lock when its supposed 
to.  The bracket is attached to the horizontal underside of the rear deck 
and provides the vertical mount for the retractor.
