 Wow, that has really drooped over the years.  ;-)
I suspect the forward end should have been attached to a screw further forward.  But, factory original is factory original.
Thanks for the picture.

Here's the door pull on an original unrestored long-door TR2.https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-thtV5fw/0/1694173b/O/i-thtV5fw.jpg

I scanned this from Piggott’s book.  From what I’ve found you’ll need to fashion the fabric covering yourself.  Other parts are available.  I think I got mine from TRF.  My car isn’t back from the painter yet so I don’t have a finished picture what I envision on mine.Good luck Pete From: Triumphs <triumphs-bounces at autox.team.net> On Behalf Ofandrew uprichard

Subject: [TR] TR3 - how does the door latch strap fasten to the door latchHello 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**triumphs at autox.team.net ** Donate:http://www.team.net/donate.htmlArchive:http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphshttp://www.team.net/archive Unsubscribe/Manage:http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/dave1massey@cs.com** triumphs at autox.team.net **
