Don't know if this is any use to you but agm are a lot closer and the bodywork is spot on

Here's the dimension sheet

Thought AGMs dimensions were the same but their bonnet is lower at the front.

Equinox quality is just as spot on

The AGM sizes are nothing like my bodywork sizes.

If somebody sends me a drawing of what is needed to clear
the engine including the mx5 I will make one.
I have finally finished the seat mould, so seats should be
for sale by the end of January.

I would agree the bodywork is a different size and actually looks quite different.

My bonnet fits over my engine without the need for a scoop as the engine is quite a long way back

They do sell a scoop as well http://www.agmsportscars.co.uk/2011_0205agm0003.jpg

Also Johno has used a dax scoop I think on his which looks good.

Both companies seem to have a good reputation for quality. I went with agm due to them being closer.
