It changed to the cable-pull inside the door pocket on the TR3A.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The pull was a leather “rope,” in essence, with triangular “hog rings” at each end. This was encased in a vinyl or leather sheath and attached to the door latch (on a protruding threaded rod) at the rear of the door and capped at the other end with a tapered ferule which was screw to the top of the door panel just behind the forward chrome sidescreen wedge.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The leather insides and hardware are available from Macy’s Garage and you can have an upholstery shop sew the outside covering. On my current interior, I did just that and the upholstery shop cost was about $40, including material. The threaded rod at the rear and the ferule/screw at the front go through the hog rings to attach. Andrew’s photo of the red pull shows the rear attachment very well.
