What have you done to your MX-5 today? (Part 2)

I doubt very, very much an Insurance company would be chuffed about them in the event of some unfortunate incident like slicing some run-away bairn’s shins in Tescos car park.
Then again, they would not if they looked at my new non OEM chassis gear.
Choices…choices…pick your risk.

Not just insurance but I think that you could be pulled up by the police for attachments like those. I also think that a lot of people don’t know that it is illegal to have wheels/tyres that protrude from their wheel arches when in the straight ahead position.

A quick clean over today ready for a planned 150 mile trip around north Cornwall tomorrow :slight_smile:

Correct, you can get a brush down there but nothing thicker. The top of the tubes is a little like yours but without a grille covering them, and there’s a panel above preventing access, with only a couple of small holes for a trombone brush.

I doubt a little bit of sticky back plastic is going to make much difference if you get hit by any car. I drive around in a Peugeot 806 derived van, it has a windscreen the size of a football pitch, exposed wipers, a roof rack more often than not loaded with ladders. That must make it the motoring equivalent as roaming the streets with a loaded machine gun!!

I was never completely satisfied with my trimming of the Alcantara around the dashboard air vents, so I fitted these carbon fibre covers.

Services the windows, so the Wold Miata unit is back to one touch. Passenger side is a bit slower than drivers on account of a previous owner 15+ years ago fitting a non-cable aftermarket regulator.

Finished fitting new Lucas headlamps. H4 connectors were corroded, so wired in some new ceramic ones

Fitted a metal washer bottle. It only comes in black but I wanted a bare metal finish so just sanded it off.

A lot of hard work done there…nice. I asked DaveFab if they could supply said bottle without the black paint or powerdercoat. No was the answer, so I never bought one.

That looks great :+1: as Davy F says, a lot of hard work! Well done.

I asked DaveFab the exact same and they said it isn’t something they do. I thought that was strange as I was just asking them to supply one before they applied the powder coat finish.

I too asked them to supply before they coat them. Methinks that maybe they actually don’t make them and bring them in… :thinking:

What a beautiful bit of kit. Seems a shame to put it under a car

You will enjoy the sound, I think the engine breathes easier as well.
