Seat belt extender

I need to extend one of the rear seat belts in our 1995 Bongo but can't seem to find anything suitable. Any suggestions welcome.

Same problem, can't find an extender with the correct fittings: in my case, it's the middle lap belt across my two rear splitty seats..

"Teather strap 2 point anchor seat belt extender" from eBay, no need to find what seat belt type is required as you just remove the belt from the anchor point bolt it to the extender and bolt the extender to the anchor point.

Be careful. I was looking for one of these so I could stop the seat belt from strangling me! The one I got off eBay didn't fit. I asked in a motor factors shop and was told that these are not crash-tested and no 'good' shop would sell them, hence why you can get them on eBay.
