As far as I know the Model A straps are available in at least three lengths, namely 6, 7, and 8 inches Some of the Model As used a steel door stop with a generous rubber bumper . . . meaning adding or reducing the bumper length would make it adjustable. If you step back to the Model T they used a woven web material nailed to the door frame. Lots of ‘non-leather’ options, but clearly some manufacture’s used leather, and since most of the time it only servers as a gentle reminder the life will likely out last most of us. The leather belts on the trunks, and hoods have an exceptionally long life.
