this would have had a 'rubber strap' that was a Japanese copy of an earlier French tourist chainstay protector and very "trick" it was. You might still find Japanese replacements if you do some deep searching.

If there is another loop about 5” away, this may be the mating part.

I could not judge where the OP's loop was on the chainstay in that photo so assumed it was one (maybe the remaining one) of a pair...so I learned that there's a single loop on Miyatas to act as a protector. We lives and learns...

I don't know how you could attach a strap to a closed loop.
