Center Seat Strap Measurements / Photo

[Rich72C10]

Once again I figured out I am missing things by reading random threads (I got to really stop doing that). Though to be fair my 72 it shouldn't have buddy seats in the first place! I am getting from Mel the center seat back brace but my center seat doesn't have the strap when the PO had them reupholstered.

Could I have some good photo's / measurements of the strap and how it is sown into the seat? Hopefully sown to the outside of the seat.

I'd also love some close up shots of the "Pan Head Philips screw" for connecting the the strap so it stops flying down, funny there is actually a simple solution to that little problem! Size of screw (#8, #10, etc) would be great too, so I can find a proper substitution, I'd image this would be a shoulder screw, chrome?

The photo's from Mel's post only gives me a general idea of what I am missing.

Edit: I guess I also need to see how the brace is mounted & screwed into the cab? Hopefully I can get this thing in without pulling the gas tank and that it would go over the carpet that is over my gas tank!

Edit: More photos

I found how the brace goes on via the assembly manual. Though it doesn't show anything about the strap on the seat or the nubby / Phillips (shoulder?) screw for it.

Now something interesting, it shows these little cool holders for the center belts. My center box doesn't have any holes for these - what's the chase of finding these - they are kind of cool.

Anyways, information about that strap and the "screw" for it would be great (photos please and measurements).

While I am drifting from my request for the strap - I did get the set of NOS Stowy things that I learned more about in the Lets see those BUDDY BUCKETS!!!!!!!

Here is the box: Gr .14.875 #994000 "Buckle Retainer Unit / Seatbelt Shoulder Harness".

Okay, brace and strap are both now solved:

I emailed and then called up Rick's Custom Upholstery and they are going to do me a one-off Black strap for my center seat. Very nice lady, though if you go my route you'll have to call up and figure out the price. The lady (didn't catch her name) was so very nice.
