False and possibly True.

They were sold by BMC Australia as an accessory, you could pick them up from any dealer.

But they may have also been sold by Paddy Hopkirk as accessories too, quite a few BMC bits were also sold by Paddy.

They're available new, if not eggzackery the same.

At least they won't fray...

They were designed to give the door a hold open feature, a good accessory really!

I bought a set from the UK several years back, but found that I couldn't fit them to my Aussie doors, they'd only fit sliding window doors. There may have been an Aussie version though.
