Mx5 lower rear upright bolts

[ozzy1]

what's left of the bolts are still stuck in the uprights!

You need to find a company with a fast hole driller. This will erode away the centre of the bolt,this will then release the pressure on the bolt where it is binding.(not usually very expensive)

If people are using the OE MX5 lower wishbone bolts (only bloody bolts that seem to fit) and the standard wishbone bush tubes at 35mm long what are you using to take up the difference in length? I made these up today to make the job a little neater, the crush tubes are drilled to 14.1mm and are almost an interference fit.

Are you going to offer the drilled out crush tubes and the spacers for sale? i was looking at a way of taking out some of the play on my lower bolts.

Is there play between the bolt and the upright which means you need new bolts or do you have play between the crush tubes and the bolts? As for weather I'll sell them it depends if there is demand for them or not.

Yes will be added to the box along with every thing else on the list.

My set up currently uses m12 bolts. I was planning to replace these with the m14 bolts from mx5 nuts but will need some bush inserts that will allow the bolt to pass through. It also looks like the MX5 bolts are a tad too long hence you are using the spacers. The play on my set up is due to using an m12 bold in an m14 hole.

I'm not sure if Nathan from NTS is planning to offer something similar to this?
