Afternoon all. Been browsing these forums for a while now for information, and thought id better 'officially' announce myself and my project.

I'm in the process of building an Mx5 based roadster, and am part way through my build. Theres some photos of progress so far, so please feel free to advise me if ive done something wrong, or done it the hard way!!

Hi Short and welcome to the forum looks like you have been quietly beavering away there..... nice to see a new build on the go
my guess would be the speedo pulse generator but not 100% on that one
