[T2] 1971 bus Muffler replacement

[Bob Pratt]

No, that Bob lives in Baltimore. 
I think I might have a set of seat belts from a '78 bay around here some where. If I find them, I'll give them a try. $86.00 is kind of steep for each seat. But there again, we're talking about safety too.

I have everything connected except for the gaskets that go into the heater boxes. The mustache bar gets n the way when I try to install the clamps over the wire ring. Any suggestions?
