Hiya, am following your build as just picked up a complete MX5 front end (it was local, cheap, and Sierra's appear to be getting rarer).
Do you intend keeping the MX5 front track? I would've thought it best, to match MX5 rear end, but you mention the rack as being too wide?
Looking at the front (stock) wishbones the lowers do mount a long way back at the rear, if you're going to make new wishbones can't you ('just') bring the mount further towards front (put in the same pivot plane) for more aesthetic
lower wishbones?
Seems its the position the rack is mounted on the MX5 subframe dictates the 'awkward' lower wishbone mount.
Also will the difference in wheelbase between MX5 and Haynes roadster (5" ? never have determined the book wheelbase) have any effect on steering geometry?
