When it comes to later tourers there appears to be a much cleaner way of attaching check straps. The attached photo is of a restored LWB tourer which has a check strap fitted like the chummy shown above and just like those illustrated in the Rinsey Mills book for an RP. However (and ignoring the non-original style of door card) if you look above it you can see a recess in the door frame and a channel in the A post behind which there is a fixture to hold a vertical pin through a loop in the strap. I don't know if the RP also has such a structure and never having examined an original tourer I am unsure as to whether this much more satisfactory arrangement was actually used.
