Haynes mx5 donor stripping
 

Hi everybody
I have a mk2 mazda mx5 that I am stripping for my son and my Haynes roadster build.:)
I have a question about the parts I will need - as far as I know they are engine, gearbox,prop,diff,wiring loom,ignition switch and stalks , steering column,speedo,front and rear hubs and brakes, handbrake .
Is that all I will need ? Am I missing something ? I recall something about a charcoal canister on the fuel?
I need to get rid of the shell to the scrappy as the boss isn't appreciative of it on the drive !!:rolleyes:
Thanks in advance

Hi,

I junked the charcoal canister so you don't need that. Don't forget the wheels!

Welcome to the forum

all the nuts and bolts you can find, the fuel lines and the clips that hold them in, the brake lines and the fitting off them, fuel pump from tank.
I just kept using bits from my MX5 till I could think of nothing else.

Before the shell goes don't forget to cut the VIN plate out of the engine bay and take pictures of the factory production stickers inside the door jams.

thanks everybody- I most probably hadn't forgot the wheels :eek:
seems like I've got it all off then:)
I did phone dvla about scrapping the chassis and they said there was no reason to keep it and sorn it - just photocopy the log book and get the destruction certificate, I have photographed everything including my 10 year old son taking the engine out ( i'm not a slave driver !)

slave driver lol :p

cut the plates out and sorn it so it wont come back and bite you later just my opinion

Hi if you are not going to use the MX5 engine mounts can I buy one of the metal engine mount covers from you please.
Regards Mick.

i may still have mine i will have a look tomorrow if i do you can have them

I think I've got both engine mounts - will check in the morning

Hi thanks it's just the oblong metal cover part that covers the rubber engine mount to protect it in case the rubber part breaks that I require I have one but seem to have lost the over one

Regards Mick.
