The track can be bolted to the top of the van floor and the area in between the tracks filled in with plywood.

. Lap belt: is attached directly into the track in the same way as the wheelchair restraint straps. The belt then passes between the wheels of the chair and the seat. The buckle on the belt should be placed at or below the hip of the occupant.
