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

[Keith Stewart]

Didn’t the 3a go to a pull inside the door pocket and eventually exterior handles as well?

Are these door pulls just for small mouth TR3?  I don’t have them on my TR3A.  Thanks Jim Henningsen

Here's Macy's door pull kit -- two of 'em, in fact.  I hand carried these to TR friends in the UK a couple of years ago, as Mark avoids the hassles around international shipping.

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?
