thanks for the correction;
I have that 2206 "belt" wrapped up - and it's been some time since I unwrapped it, so it may be the wrong length.

I never took the time to notice these detail because the only belts I bought for my car, are ones that I have a clear memory getting;
I pulled them from a 1970 Camaro;
A car that had me stumped at the time because the emissions sticker said "400" - I knew at the time that the small block 400 was never offered in the Camaro
I later came to realize meant that it was an SS-396 (402) car.
I share this because in my mind, since these shoulder belts came from another 1970 model, they were inarguably correct for my car.
I pulled them from the best wrecker at the time in Winnipeg for F-body parts - and that was in July (or possibly early august) 1995.

... I also have the original jack cover from that Camaro.
I understand those are pretty rare (original) parts these days, and I found it odd to learn that they were never used in Firebirds, rather were a Camaro-only part.
