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

[Keith Stewart]

Can’t swear as to originality, but the ones on my 57 TR3 are leather on the outside but the leather encases a link chain – with the latch shaft going through the end link and held in place by a nut while the end link at the other end is secured by a screw under the escutcheon for the outer leather strap.

Yes.  My biggest question is where can I get those parts?  Dave says the inner part is heavy gauge leather.  It looks like the outer is thinner, more supple leather.  I have neither.  Does anyone sell these parts?
