Hi

If I might hijack, I'm sure Phil won't mind...

As far as I know the MK1 and MK2 running gear looks different and has different functionality but mounts in exactly the same places with the exception of the steering arms on the uprights, the MK2 arms are a few mm higher so would need to be considered when setting up the steering rack.

I have to caveat that statement by saying I have never actually measured the MK2 bits with any accuracy so I am basing that on information from the workshop manuals and searching the web. If in doubt give the chaps at MX5 Heaven a ring - top blokes and VERY helpful

Edit: - I just followed my own advice and had a check with MX5 Heaven - the MK1 and MK2 parts are mounted the same but internally different so they should work with our chassis.
