Re: Open car door check straps
Camera flash alters the true color of these 28/29, 7.5" chocolate brown check straps for open car without sidemount.
I can try to take a natural light photo later if it would be of help.

Re: Open car door check straps
Thanks Marco. I think there must be pages missing in the new JS I got.
The new index shows check straps on 12-5 and I have door handles on 12-5 and no new revisions in section 12. Bob |

Re: Open car door check straps
Has anybody purchased the check straps from Drake?
If you have, how close are they to the originals? Thanks, Dudley |

Re: Open car door check straps
HoarseWhisperer and others that responded,
Thanks for posting the picture of the 28/29 straps. Nice picture. Also thanks for supplying the length for 28/29 without sidemounts. I forgot to check the JS. Until I saw Bob Drake's straps in his catalog, I didn't know the straps were doubled over at the ends. I should have figured it out being there are two sets of mounting holes at each end, but I guess I am a little slow. I think I will order a set from Bob Drake to see what they look like.

Re: Open car door check straps
I ordered some check straps from Bob Drake. I received them yesterday. They look pretty authentic to me, but I have nothing to compare them to except the pictures posted earlier in this string. I took a couple of picture of them and I am posting them in this response. The picture color is not the best, as I have medium priced camera that is not the best for closeup pictures. The straps are what I would call chocolate brown, very close to the original strap color. The straps have the grain, the few wavy lines and a fabric core like originals. The thickness is about .100", but that is not real accurate as I don't have my mic handy. Over all I think they are a good substitute or originals at $30 a pop.

Re: Open car door check straps
They seem a tad too dark, but light, camera, etc.. I think the rest is pretty spot on....

Re: Open car door check straps
The straps do look a little darker in the picture than they actually are. They are more of a medium brown.

Re: Open car door check straps
Hi,
Does anyone know what strap length is correct for a 30 standard roadster? |

Re: Open car door check straps
The Judging Guideline states 8 11/16" for a 30 standard roadster - page 12-5.
Hope this helps. Rusty Nelson |
