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

[DAVID MASSEY]

 I wonder if there is enough demand to entice some leather craftsman or upholsterer to reproduce these.  Not much required in the way of tooling, unlike some TR parts.

 In all my years with TR3s, I have never seen this strap. Aftermarket? Bob

I do have (somewhere) the escutcheons but other than that I am starting at zero.         I, too am interested in any information regarding this.        Dave              -----Original Message-----

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