63 SDV Rear Seat Belts
Well, the wife say we gotta have'em so I'm on the hunt for seat belts for the back seat of my SDV 4 window.
My question is, are the rears the same length as the front?. Near as I can tell, fronts are about 70+ inches or so.
I've been looking at after market, chrome latch belts that are pretty reasonable. Seat Belt Planet and Andoauto are a couple. Although not exact match to the fronts that are installed, they'll be fine for my driver.
Haven't looked around at it yet to see if the mounting holes are there but hoping they are. Anything else I need to consider. I'm assuming if the holes are there, I just need the bolts and washers to mount them.
Any insight appreciated.

Yep, Mounting holes are there beneath the rear lower seat. Remove and you will see 4 rubber plugs. I use WD40 and the claw end of a hammer to remove as to not damage..and to pull right out. The rear seat belts have the same bucket and insert as the front, but instead of the retractors has short stout mounting brackets to attach to pre-drilled holes as seen below:

The holes you need should be there according to Jason. Type in seat belts under "blogs". Good info on this. HTH.

1963 series 62 convertible transmission issue

Hello I've been restoring a 63 for way to many years. Down to almost done, but have issue with trans linkage, when column in park shift rod 2 inches short. everything original. been trying to find picture of manual rod hooked up from under car to see position of linkage. was wondering if anybody has access for pictures. I wanted to see if my manual linkage is bent wrong out of the trans if somebody dropped the trans or something. Doesn't make sense why it doesn't work. Thanks for any input…

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive
Posted by Cliff Johnston on June 14, 2021 at 8:47pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.
I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.
With the Idle set high enough that it is smooth, but still a nice idle, the RPM seems only slightly too high for the stall of the Torque Converter. And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…

Hello!
Newbie to the group here - we have already found tons of invaluable information on the board, so thanks! We are restoring a 1963 Series 62 Convertible. We are wondering if anyone knows of a source to buy the propellor yoke flange (that bolts to the pinion flange) for the driveshaft? One of our ears partially broke off. Not sure if we can buy just the yoke flange as an aftermarket part, or if it has to be rebuilt by a welder/fab guy? Maybe a salvage yard for a source? Again, any…
