[TR] TR3 - how does the door latch strap fasten to the door latch

[David Griffiths]

Hello all,

TR3. LO15005/TS10601E

I would be very grateful if someone could take a close up picture and/or a description of the way the door-opening strap on the inside of the door fastens to the door latch. I understand that the strap inner is of tough leather, about a quarter inch in diameter, but I don’t know how to fasten it to the latch, which on this car is just a threaded rod sticking out of the vinyl of the door with an acorn nut on it. On the rod there is a bit of metal like what you find on a zipper to move it up and down, with “YKK” on it. Perhaps it is. The only commercial thing I could find was at Macy’s, but the pic was so small it didn’t help much: https://macysgarage.com/parts-new.htm. I have the outer sleeve. 

Thanks, 
Dave
