Noob with a new mx5 Saturn build.

I'm not sure of the plate thickness, 5 or 6mm I think. I got them pre cut from plazcutz via eBay. The threaded tubes also can from eBay from a seller called thelatheman I think.

I'll try recall the drag link. I just had a eurocarparts part number rather than car model as reference.

Sylvain, you're probably correct! I've put them on wrong before several times!

[norton]

So I'm looking to order some braided lines and quite anxious about getting the correct length. Would I be right in saying that so long as the line does touch anything with the wheel moved through all its available range of motion it's a pass? And of course that the length is not excessive.

I have mine zip tied to the wishbones in the middle, so they are always touching that. As long as there is still some slack at full lock and through the suspension range and they don't rub on something that would cause wear they should be fine.

Thanks

Try eBay auction number 310650017591 I'm fairly sure that's the part. One part number I've seen is pvtr325 which is a motaquip number. Hth.

Thanks for the tips stot, I'll measure up again tonight and go for it I think.

Thank you for getting back

So I've fitted the exhaust manifold along with the coolant reroute and water pump outlet. I'm now thinking ahead of coolant pipes and how to route it whilst keeping in mind that I would like to turbo this or use a rotrex charger. I planned to fit either of those roughly where the pas pump was below the top chassis tubes.

The water pump inlet is kinda awkward though. I've been looking for an oem pump inlet that faces directly forward not to the passenger side like the original.

I've seen some fit the original back to front which could help but I may end up making one.





I will route the top hose down the exhaust side above the manifold and close to the cam cover.

Does anyone know if the book spec roll bar or, more specifically if the harness mounts are iva compatible?

[norton]

I should have been more specific in mentioning I have a book design roll bar kit bought from the bay.

I was happy to assemble it as per the book but wanted to be sure the original plans were still iva compliant.
