31 roadster door check straps

[todd3131]

I What is the proper length for the door straps? Drake has multiple options foremthem and I'm not sure if the leather straps I have are correct or not.
Thanks for the help.

Shorter straps are used with side mount spares. You would want to use the longest strap possible for ease of entry and exit.

I don't have side mounts and the 32 roadster uses 8 7/8 strap the next size down is 7.5 inches

I admire your '32. I've never seen a stock '32 roadster, and I've been playing with these old cars for over 50 years.
