Does anyone know if there is a mounting/drilling template available for my newly purchased coin-door that should be arriving soon? It is an Atari Coin Door. Here's the pic:

That's a COINCO model 2802 coin door.

Cool. Do you know where I can get any mounting info on this?

I purchased an over/under from Happs for my coin door. I just used the coin door itself for my "template".
Should be able to lay the door down, trace the outline, and finally mark a new line inside this one based on the space between the outer edge and the amount you need for overlap.
I intentionally error'ed on the tight side when I did mine and then sanded slightly to make a nice snug fit.
Measure twice, cut once.

i also just fitted a happ over/under.
i waited until the door arrived and cut to that. didn't want to risk the dimensions of the diagram on Happ website being wrong.
worse thing to do is be impatient and cut the hole too big.
BTW: anyone have any spare mounting bolts?
the silver screw bolts i used just don't look right ;)

You don't need a template just measure the inside edge of the door where the hole needs to be and draw the measurements on the front of your cab.
Next take a small paint can or food can and use it to draw the rounded corners of the door.
Place the door over the shape and make sure it's outside the lip of the covers the hole you are going to cut out.
Cut the hole out and fit the coin door if the corners are tight use a rotary tool to sand them down a bit.
Thats it.

Ghoward has it.
Remember also that as long as it fits it doesn't even need to be perfectly precise as the front overlaps and covers the hole by quite a bit.
