Default mx5 front hub

Hi I wanted to know has anyone used the front hubs from a mx5 and what has to be changed on the wish bones and ball joints and track and drag link ends in order to use the mx5 hubs?

Hi

There has been a lot of work done on this by 3GE and myself, there are differences but I am currently finalising the plans for the necessary mods to the wishbones and chassis. Suffice to say that it is possible. The BMW 7 series track rod ends are great for the top ball joint, use the escort steering rack and modify the necessary extensions to convert between the Ford rack and Mazda track rod ends.

All the necessary parts will be available off the shelf in the next few weeks.

Yep, the plans will be available very soon - I just need to get them checked out and my figures confirmed. Details will be posted up on www.voodooautokits.co.uk as soon as they are available.
