Not too sure. But you can either buy them with the metal fastener, or make you own, in which case get an off cut of leather or vinyl, fold it, and match it up with the other door strap. Simples

Only 'simples' if you have another door strap available to measure though!

Then in which case, you can make your own, to your own specified lenght. You can really have it as long or short as you want.

I used the same technique for my back seat strap.

1. Get a leather/vinyl off cut, a large piece, not too thick
2. Then for example, cut two pieces off, say 2 inch wide, then 10 inch long.
3. Fold each piece in half, so you'll get a handle 5 inch in lenght
4. Get a metal, retangle bar, (Id buy those), punch 2 holes at the top of your handles, and screw into door.

OR, you could just buy ready made handles, that come in a variety of colours to match your interior!
Personally, Id choose this option!

I must admit it's much easier to buy replacements than to make them. They really need stitching on a sewing machine with a strong leather needle to make them any good.

If you can afford to buy the leather ones rather than the vinyl - they last longer.
