Yes, that's the standard book design.
I used 1 mm 1050A ally for the tunnel, side panels, bonnet and rear.

Build update
its been a while since I updated my build. I seem to have been doing lots of little fiddly wiring jobs and nothing too exciting. I had a bit of spare aluminium that I decided to use to make a tunnel cover.
Here is how I did it.  I stuck on a thin camping mat that I got in the sale from Argos for £3  I then got my lovely wife to do some stitch detailing on some leatherette and stuck it over the top   I still need to make a gaiter to go around the handbrake and then back doing some oily jobs again.

Nice work David, that looks sweet!
My wife refused to let my leatherette anywhere near her sewing machine!

Nice one David,
 It's a nice feeling adding finishing touches to the car especially after weeks of fiddling with Japanese coloured spaghetti stuffy....  Been there buddy, feel for you...

More wiring problems
Tonight I thought I would put a multimeter to the switches for the clutch and the brake lights.
It seems they are both push to break switches but the hydraulic ones are push to make. how do I overcome this problem or am I reading this incorrectly? Can you get push to break hydraulic switches? thanks David

You're right that the OEM ones are push to break and the hydraulic are push to make, but it's not a problem. In the MX5 the switches are pushed in by default, and released when you press the pedals, so they operate the opposite way round
