It should be: As you can see in the above pictures the strap is twisted, if it came out the way I explained it would not have a twist in it.

I'll correct my post but your quote of me will have to stay the same. Sorry about the confusion.

If I understand correctly I think you are saying that the strap was originally straight when it was installed - and lapped over the top of the door bolt. But on some of the pictures the stap has evidently rotated around the bolt to where it no longer is lapped over the top - and that rotation put the twist in it.

Thanks

I looked at mine and it looks exactly like the one in the photo rusty nut and all

I did find a picture from Original AC Ace & Cobra by Rinsey Mills, p.47, 1990.

Note how the strap is not twisted but somewhat covers the bolt and nut


Also note in my pictures above: #'s 5/6/7 the strap is folded over with the raw edges pointing up under the bolt. I don't think the intention is to have the raw edges coming together and showing. Wrapping the strap around and over the bolt leaves the finished side of the strap up and showing, somewhat hiding the bolt.
