Here are a few pictures of the templates I made and used on the second door. Also, I highly recommend you take the time to make a metal template for the Miata handles if you aren't trying to weld in a sheet metal patch for the handles from the door vehicle.

Love the Miata door handles, great job! I had bought a set earlier but realized that the install was going to be waaaaayyy above my skill set!!

Thanks. It wasn't that hard, just a lot of thinking and figuring. All of the metal work was done with basic tools. It took a while to do however as I couldn't find any details on what needed to be done. That's why I spent the time to document my work.
