One problem you now might encounter is the steering arm fouling the lower wishbone on full lock if using the Saturn design wishbones.
Skov and myself have both had the same problem regarding this.
I remember Nathan saying he had no problem regarding this and perhaps he used non Mazda parts as well.
Just a thought.

Nathan used Ford TREs but tapered the MX5 upright to take the TREs from the top (not the bottom as Mazda OEM).
I reckon mark 2 MX5 uprights will solve at least part of the fouling issue with the SSC design since the TRE fitting is 7mm higher than the mark 1 upright. This is how Keith Tanner has done it after trying to get the mark 1 upright to work. Or Phil's front wishbone design would also allow you to use the mark 1 uprights.
