Answering David Griffiths question about the door latch strap, if =
you=E2=80=99re referring to the inside door pull, this was the way one =
opened the doors on a TR2 through TR3. It changed to the cable-pull =
inside the door pocket on the TR3A.
The pull was a leather =E2=80=9Crope,=E2=80=9D in essence, with =
triangular =E2=80=9Chog rings=E2=80=9D 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.
The leather insides and hardware are available from Macy=E2=80=99s =
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=E2=80=
=99s photo of the red pull shows the rear attachment very well. For =
additional installation info, see John Durant=E2=80=99s series of =
