Also, how long is the cable? 12 feet?? I know it is one loop but mine is cut and measures 12 feet and didn't know if any was missing. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 815 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 815 | Juiannos(sp) seems to be the place for seat belts.

Roughly 12-1/2 feet. Better start with a 14 foot piece and trim it off.
I always found a milk crate makes a good temp seat. Have to add a pillow when you get old.
