Hardtops exchanged between MK 1 and Mk2

Can anyone say with any authority or experience if the hardtop fitted on the MK 2 (1999) will fit a MK1 (1993).  Have checked with the local Mazda dealer who states that it is a different part number (no surprise as it is a slightly different model).  I would have thought it was the same as the hoods from MK2 fit a MK1 and all the fixings points are in the same location.  Just do not want to buy one only to find it will not fit!

Many thanks

Yes they are the same.

Thanks - thought so but though I would check before bidding on Ebay.  Not good that the main Mazda dealer has no idea!!!

Would this be Pilling at Westcroft? they are muppets.

How did you guess?  These are the same people who advised me how to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt by sticking a breaker bar on the bolt and then turning the engine over!
