Not quite a build thread....

very nice work.

Well done

Very cool. Love the TIG work.

I was considering my rear uppers recently too but from another angle.

My handbrake cables are really close to the seat-back framework. I thought that on the roadster with MX5 uprights it would be better to mount the uprights on opposite sides so that the brakes are to the back and the handbrake cables mount at the rear.

A flip of the upper wishbones with repositioned shock mounts would work but I already have my shock mounts welded in so it is in hindsight but I would look at it if I were doing them again.

Thanks guys,

I thought the same about turning the uprights round at one point but like you Stot my upper shock mounts were already welded in place. The upper wishbone would have to be a strange design to accommodate the offset of the upright when turned around with the original upper shock mounting point.

I made my grill for my bonnet scoop this morning.....



The formers were made from 12mm ply with a 5mm gap between the two.
Placed the mesh in place and then clamped down with a bit of support from a bit of box.



This how it tuned out, just needs trimming and a coat of paint ready for bonding in place...
