I'm at the point of installing welting on my 1931 frame and would like to know in inches how far back does the welting go towards the back of the frame. An inch measurement taken from the very end of the back of the frame to where the welting would end.

ALSO

Does anyone have any comments about installing the frame welting using contact cement. I understand there is welting available with an adhesive backing, but I am using welting without that adhesive. It just seems better to put the body back on the frame if the welting was held in place with being tacked down during that process.

Thanks to all who take the time to answer my questions.
