Ultimately, is that not just a different version of this?

Albeit a FAR better version, The G19 conversion kit is far more substantial… I had the OEM Mazda one until it failed and needed replacing, Glad I went with the G19 as it feels like it will still be holding strong many years after the car has rotted away lol. :rofl:

Thanks for sharing, I note 2 out of 3 reviews are critical of this kit. The G19 Engineering kit is not that much more to buy & it is a sturdy well designed alternative. (I dont work for G19!)
