Thanks.
Have ordered a pair at £25.00 Inc postage.
Same price as the Cobalt bushes from Moss but they want a rather steep £8.00 for postage

Re-fitted my 25mm hub centric spacers after removing them for track activity at Anglesey last Wednesday. We’re back in road “Stance” mode now…
Do you have any photos of the wiring please @Jeff_jthspace ?
I’ve had this part sat in my garage for a few months now and have been worried about tapping into the wires.
Dropped off at the garage to get a quote to do the fixes and welding required for an MOT. Fingers crossed its not too bad
Didn’t take any but here are the instructions which show the wires to tap into.
It’s not difficult! I used a sharp blade to carefully remove the fabric wrap around the wires and then rewrapped with normal insulation tape afterwards.
However, you may have a couple of the door clips break off so I used a glue gun to put them back in the door card and it worked perfectly.
That’s unfortunate. What are your plans now?
After my discovery yesterday that a previous owner had installed a decat mid pipe with no resonator, I measured the diameter of it as I suspected it wasn’t stock. I was right, but rather than it being larger, it’s smaller - who does that? Did they just use whatever bit of pipe was lying around?
I believe stock is 60mm or 2 3/8”, but this pipe is 57mm or 2 1/4”. I’ve ordered a mid pipe repair section from MX5Parts so I can have a resonator again but I don’t know if the sleeve on it will squash down to the smaller pipe size. If it doesn’t work I’ll just have to buy a reducer.
Aww, man. That sucks. Mine is going in soon for its first MOT in a few years (SORN since the family grew by one) and I’m hoping that I don’t fall into this category…
Do you have any plans to pick up anything in its place?
Thanks, I will give it a go soon as I find it annoying having to mess around when the car is parked with roof down.
I read that there are some curveballs with a right hand drive car but fro, your right up, there wasn’t anything to worry about.
@Jitsuka @Bvfraser I’m sitting on it for a week as the MOT isn’t due until mid-June, and I have a few options including second opinions, but I’m stuck in the “invest more so as not to waste the existing investment” & “throwing good money after bad” quandary. If I do get rid that’ll be it for MX-5s for a good while as this was an unexpected opportunity I would otherwise not have been able to afford, so it’s quite a decision.
Managed to get my horns working. I removed my dodgy connectors and replaced them with female spade types. I also unscrewed the ground connections and sanded them to bare metal, so thank you to @999to5, @Scarletpimpernel and @Roadie for all your suggestions.
Good news on that.
Well done that man
How do they sound??
VERY loud! So loud I haven’t given them a proper blast, just a parp to confirm they work. The next time I’m in the middle of nowhere I’ll give it laldy and report back. One horn is a low tone while the other is high. They sound very urgent together.
Apologies if I have missed it, which ones have you got? I reckon others will ask too.
Finished measuring the valve clearance on my NB 1.6. I need to fit new shims. Can someone remind me who to contact about borrowing the special tool for removing the old shims please?
