Anyone know of anyone making escort to mx5 extensions? Or a better solution!
Phil at Talon makes them but theres a bit of a wait at the moment for obvious reasons.

Have I heard that people have reamed out and mounted the TRE from the top to get round this? Reaming would only leave you with 1/2 taper contact so again I think I read some peopl drilling out and putting in tapered inserts.
