Door "Handle, Strap," or whatever it is called

[Chimpanzee]

The "strap" that you pull on to close the door (not the locking handle), has been replaced by the previous owner with an ugly chain in ugly plastic cover. As I am finally going to glue and reinforce the plastic panel on the door side, I am looking for a replacement "strap" Unfortunately I have no idea where to get one, and what is is actually really called.

Any ideas out there ?

Cheers

Ours ('78J) has two screws holding it in place.  We had a local leather craftsman make us a new handle out of leather and used the existing screws to hold it in place.

 

Just an idea.

There was just a thread on that., search forums for door handle or door strap.

 

1. Aero Comfort, price in threads is about $20.

2. Find someone local to make on from leather.

3. Go to local craft store and make one yourself (I did that).

4. Make it out of aluminum.

You might find a leather belt at Wally World that could be cut to fit $10?

A local furniture upholster did both of my straps for $10. They turned out great!

NorbertI had the same issue and I removed the doi

I had the same issue with my door handle strap and removed it. I then took it to a local upholstery shop where I selected the pleather fabric to match my interiors. They actually had a stronger material for what was wrapped around with leather. You can get this done for under 10 bucks.

I found a REAL leather belt at the Goodwill and burned the Mark 21 logo in it. Sorry the pic is a little crappy.

I just got both of mine from hector. It was 30$ I think and it has a nylon strap sewed inside it so you can pull on it.
