I'll post this to the list in case others are interested.

Craig Herrick asks about mounting armrests on his '95.

The metal pressings/mountings on the inside of the door are the same for
94/95 as for 90-93.  Having just mounted my '91 interior panel on a '94 door,
I can assure you this is the case.  Note that the door pull is in the same
position as the door pull portion of the armrest.  There is also an
additional mounting point to the rear.  The only thing you'd need to do after
securing a pair of armrests would be to make hole in the door panel in the
appropriate place.  The armrest itself will provide a template to show you
where to cut.

Good luck.

P.S.  Armrests actually give you an extra 20 HP or so, though I hear a
modified voodoo knob adds more...   :-)

P.P.S.  My Miata supports the handicapped.  Given where all that black goop
was squirted (irrespective of the plastic it was supposed to hold) I must
assume that it was applied by a blind man.  If I didn't know better I'd say
it was done on a Friday in Detroit after a few beers...

P.P.P.S.  For sale - '91 mariner blue door, stripped down, one 'door ding'
-but it's a big one...  :-)
