Door Pull Lanyard Sleeve Cover (Pair)
Suitable Models: TR3A
$64.76 – $109.14 exc. VAT UK Customers ONLY - VAT (20%) will be calculated at checkout.
The Door “Lanyard” Pulls on the early Triumph TR models were heavily used as the main method of opening and closing the actual door skins of the car. As a result, these are often extremely worn and in great need of replacing. Available in a variety of materials and colours – please see below for more in-depth descriptions, videos, and frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Back in the early days of mass production – Triumph, and many other marques, used rather basic methods to open and close the doors on these TR cars. This started with a basic Door Pull Lanyard on the early TR2 and TR3 models, before a subtle update for the TR3A/TR3B models – eventually being completely overhauled for the later Giovanni Michelotti designed TR4 to TR6 models. Whilst the concept for the door opening mechanism remained unchanged from the TR2/3 models, the actual door pull was updated slightly in September 1957 with the introduction of the TR3″A”. Whereas previously this Door Pull featured a leather belting core and was attached wholly to the outside upholstered door panel skin; the TR3A and B models used a metal cable, not too far removed from a bicycle chain, and attached the upper section of the door pull to a metal hook located on the rear of the door assembly panel, which was accessed through the door panel pocket opening. This chain was threaded through a material sleeve to keep it matching to the main interior trim and upholstery. This update helped maintain the appearance of the upholstery, which was put under more strain each time the door pull was used on the TR2/TR3 models due to the way in which this earlier pull was attached to the panels.
This Door Pull cover was originally supplied in either Leather or Vynide (Leathercloth), depending on the material specification of the car. Be aware that commonly these days for “Vynide” specification cars – this material is superseded with Vinyl (Ambla), although Leathercloth (Vynide) is still available if requested (colour dependent). When these parts were supplied in Leather, the door pull lanyard cords made up two pieces of the “7pc Leather Capping Kit” which was a popular factory option on the TR2-3B models. Keep in mind that when “Leather” is mentioned on the heritage certificates, this is often referring to this “7pc Capping Kit” which also went hand-in-hand with the Seats being made in a similar combination including Leather elements. See our FAQs for more information.
Designed and re-templated using factory originals – John Skinner Ltd is one of the only manufacturers in the world to acknowledge and stay true to the original TR3A/B style design – whereas many others suppliers simply offer a generic cover to suit all TR2 to TR3B models – with no knowledge of the changes between these models. With the correct pre-sewn “sleeve” design to accommodate the metal cord, and top-stitching detail to create a clean finish on the bottom edges; we have kept the original aesthetics of these parts – whilst maintaining is suitability to purpose. It is details, changes and knowledge such as this that has helped John Skinners maintain their position as the leading manufacturer of Triumph TR interior upholstery kits.

🇪🇺 EU Shipments / Brexit 🇪🇺
As of January 2021, the UK is no longer part of the European Union (EU). As a result, several changes have been implemented which affects how EU based customers now purchase products from the UK.
It is not as problematic and complicated as people say. John Skinner Ltd sends hundreds of shipments to the EU; and rarely do we encounter any issues at all; and this is due to us working closely with our shipping agents to offer two choices that help to simplify the process for you.
You now have 2 Options you can choose from for shipping John Skinner products to the EU:
============
Option 1: Standard International Shipping
This is the ‘standard’ method of purchasing items from the UK, since the UK left the EU (‘Brexit’).
You will pay John Skinner Ltd for 1) the parts ordered, and 2) the shipping cost to ship from the UK to your address.
You will NOT be charged UK VAT (20% Tax). (Before Brexit, you would have been charged UK VAT @ 20%).
Once your parts ship, you will be contacted directly by our shipping agent (normally DHL), who will request payment from you for 1) Your Local Country Tax based on the value of the John Skinner Invoice, 2) a small admin fee (normally around €15). Once this is paid, your goods are released from customs and delivered to your address.
You will NOT be charged any Duties/Tariffs. All the parts we supply are made by John Skinner Ltd in the UK, and we provide all the correct paperwork & documentation and sign declarations to ensure that no Duties/Tariffs apply to our goods. (This is often the part that most people get confused by with Brexit – they assume that anything they buy from the UK incurs Duties/Tariff charges – our products are 0% Duty/Tariff rated).
Note that this shipping option is the default choice offered when Jonathon is raising your initial Quote; if you wish to discuss the second option (see below) – then just mention this to Jonathon once he has made direct contact with you about your enquiry.
============
Option 2: Prepaid Duties & Taxes *** VERY POPULAR OPTION ***
To simplify the purchasing process, you can choose our Prepaid Duties & Taxes option.
This process is becoming the most popular option for our EU customers as it makes everything very simple and straightforward, akin to how it was before the UK left the EU.
We will calculate & include all applicable import duties, taxes, and customs fees in your order total – and everything is paid up front to John Skinner Ltd.
Once the parts are ready and are shipped – you will NOT pay any additional costs, or have to do anything more – your order will be delivered to your address as normal. Our shipping agent (normally DHL) pays the Local Country Tax on behalf of John Skinner Ltd and they Invoice us for this later. This ensures that you won’t face any unexpected charges upon delivery, and your order will clear customs smoothly and quickly.
You can enjoy a more streamlined shopping experience with this option; like Brexit never even happened.
If you are interested in this option, please let Jonathon know once he has contacted you directly with your updated Quote via email; and he can update the Quote accordingly to reflect this choice.
