Question Door Pull ideas?

1971 911T

Only the passenger side has the interior door pull, nothing on the left, on driver side.

I keep using the Door pocket to pull the door close and that is going to break or screws come off eventually

Any ideas of installing a door pull - all practical ideas as welcomed - thanks in advance.

Get a right hand drive passenger door handle.
I have no idea why the factory decided not to do symmetrical handles on the early cars.
Otherwise you have to leave the window down to pull shut.

If you take the door cap off There are 2 bolt holes where the handle would attach. You can make leather pull strap and bolt it there.
Or you can do what I did and switch over to the 74 and later door handles and pockets. Just keep all of your original door cards, handles, pockets etc. if you ever want to go back to original.
The original bungee door pockets were always an irritation, but I am sure many will think it sacrilege.

I was able to find RHD passenger armrest from a place in France, that will work. mine are very old so ordered the other LHD passenger side as well to match

There is a reason I have named her "Miss Moneypit"
