Re: 1953 3100 "Honey-do"
At this point, the Miata handles were mounted, the windows were in and working, so I needed to fab something for the inside connection. I wanted to keep the stock handles inside. I'm not sure if the Boss wants the full door to be upholstered or more like stock with they trim covering the top section. So I wanted to keep my options open. Also, I'm not sure where I will place the door switch and master lock/unlock. These might go on the door or in the console. TBD.
I used the stock cable and modified it to connect to the stock handle. I removed the latch bar, and put a pin in the same hole it attached to the lever for the cable. I turned a metal sleeve to welded to the lever bracket to hold and orientate the cable.
It has a good feel and positive engagement.
