Default '28 coupe door check straps

Our '28 coupe has no door check straps on it. The door panels have been recovered and no holes have been made in the panels for the straps. I think the straps should be present to prevent the doors from ever being opened too far and putting pressure on the hinges. That's pretty much the purpose of the straps, right? The parts catalogs list different length straps. I guess just the shortest ones that will allow the doors to open far enough are what we want? The doors will never need to open more than 90 degrees out from the body, max.
