Gary,

The triangle area is a piece of board similar in thickness as the door panels. 
Once you glue the vinyl to the board, it is glued in place to the area. Insure 
you have extra at the bottom. The sill carpet will cover the overflow and help 
keep it in place.

You should have been shipped some extra vinyl from Moss in order to cover 
these and any other area. I did a 63 4 a few years back and used the Moss set 
and did get about 1/2 yard.

Here is a link to TRFs pattern. Note the part next to 806310. This is the 
piece. You should have it in your Moss kit I believe.

The seat belts on my 63 are attached to 2 each eye bolts. One each on each 
side of the drive shaft tunnel and one each on the inside of the B post.

There should be a very thick 1/4" plate on the inside of the wheel wells. The 
b post bolt goes through this and has a lock washer and lock nut. If you need 
the part #s let me know and I can look them up.

I am not sure what size the bolt is but I am guessing about 5/8"
