Hey Ryan,
My original lanyards (still in a box) were shorter also, not sure of the exact length, I'd have to go dig them up to measure them (I'm thinking around 17").
I ended up replacing them with the 23" kit, which everyone says is the correct length for A bodies, as I figured one of the previous owners might have swapped them for aftermarket ones. But I have since talked to both the previous owners and they don't recall ever changing those.
I find the 23" too long.
Anyone else run into this issue?
The pin placement = WHAT ADAM SAID!
