Does anyone know the length of the webbing of the center front seat belt? Or can anyone measure it? I got a knuckle and have the correct webbing material.

Christian,
Jason had posted this in the help section:

And this:

Although no dimension is given for a front center belt, It seems likely to me that it would be the same as the other front belts without a retractor. Unfortunately that dimension is not given here.
I do have a pair of non-retracting belts that I believe came original in my '63 convertible. I can measure those for you if you want.
Thank you Jason. If you would measure the center webbing this would be great. I have the seat belt installation instructions too, but without any dimensions.
I have the factory belts in mine, I can measure it late on today.
I always run with the arm rest down, and I have to be honest, I don't recall a centre belt in the Fleetwood.
That would be great! In Germany we need seat belts at the front center seating position to have the permission transporting 3 persons on the front bench if the outer positions already have seat belts.
These measurements are very close to the ones Jason has for the retracting belts in the help section.
Perfect! Thank you so much!
Yes you are right if you are an adult :) Kids until 12 have to buckled up, no matter what year the car was build. It's a big problem with cars, which never had seat belts. You always need a special inspection if you add seat belts in that kind of car. That was the reason I added seat belts. My boys are 4 and 7 now.
If you don't have seat belts, the car always will be registered with 5 seats. If you have seat belts on all 6 positions, you can add the 6th passenger in your papers. Wired but that's the law in Germany ;)
Yes, that's right, too. Kids until 1,5 meter or 12 years always needs a child seat. But that doesn't have anything to do with a classic car. It's the law anyway :)
Oh man, ripped off.
I went out to measure my front centre (Oz Spelling) belts and the mighty Fleetwood doesn't have one. :-(

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
