Door Pulls?

[FL-Frank]

My '72 T Coupe has a molded door pull on the passenger side door panel that runs on an angle from the leading edge of the armrest to the bottom of the window sill moulding. The driver's side, however, doesn't have a matching pull. Is this correct, or is it likely that one of my door panels has been replaced somwhere along the way?

I can tell you that my '66 912 is set up exactly the same way. Far's I know that's normal...

It's supposed to back that way, Frank.

Ditto what Jim stated. Here's a '73 for you.

Thanks for the information, guys. Wonder why they desigend them like that?
Maybe they felt the door pull would somehow interfere with the driving position?

Where can i get a pair of sport seats like that Tom?

They come along now and again. Expensive, though. Those were correct 1973 seats that had been totally refurbished. FWIW, a nice alternative are Peter Zwinkakis' replica seats. I love mine. He does a great job and they are what I was using in that car before yanking them to install in my SWB car. I'm only using the driver side for now as most passengers (my wife) are not fond of climbing into the car. It's really pretty easy.

Good luck,

I've seen cars with door pulls on both sides...I assumed the clever owners got the pieces from countries where the steering wheel is on the "wrong" side of the car. But you know, it would have made for a great option...
