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 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
