Keep the standard engine mounts complete, battery main cable, keep both the caliper hand brake cables these are expensive, throttle cable, speedo cable, brake light switch, wheel nuts, cut all the VIN plates from the shell for IVA/DVLA, any ID thats on the shell you can't remove take pics of.

keep every clip and bracket you can find, i cut the handbrake cable brackets out the shell as well

label EVERYTHING and take photos of absolutely everything before you remove it tedious , yes but its amazing how something that should be obvious suddenly becomes a vague mystery with the passage of time.
as well as the ecu keep all the immobilizer/ alarm stuff as some of it is tied in together
Good luck

Is there any odd tools i will need to strip the mx5
Thanks

no set of metric sockets and you will be fine, a recip saw and grinder is very handy, i cut the suspension off and stripped the bolts on the bench as practically nothing unbolted

You'll need either a 29 or 32mm socket to undo the hub nuts.

RichardH 22nd December 2015 06:57 AM

good shout , undo the hubs nuts before you disconnect the brakes or jack it up, they are feckin tight. ask me how i know :mad:
