Hi we are in the uk and want to do a hi top conversion but struggling to find a van which has passenger airbag? Any ideas please?

Greetings!

If you look at the statistics AND how they are gathered, the effectiveness of airbags is highly questionable.  In every non fatal crash where the airbags have been deployed, it gets counted as saving a life.  In other words they tweak the numbers to prove they're right.  Nobody knows definitively whether airbags have ever saved a single life.

When you combine this with all the deaths and serious injuries caused by airbags, and the millions of airbag recalls with no fix found, I'm actually very glad that my van is old enough to not have airbags. 

Airbags are no replacement for intelligent engineering, which has long since been replaced by corporate greed.  Real math and real statistics totally disagree with the new math and twisted statistics we are presented with today.
