what a brilliant idea for the fuel filler location! The dash needs spacers (40mm) to push it back far enough to get the wheels central to the arches. The body is then fitted tight up to the back of the bulge in the dash for the clocks. The drop plate for the column needs bending to suit your desired steering wheel height. Sometimes you may need to drill 2 holes if you find your chosen position results in the bolt slots being too short.

Yeah I need to enlarge that bulkhead hole too, I'm starting to think that this kit is not very plug and play, more like purchase and modify!

Where have you guys been mounting your front brake hoses? I was thinking of knocking up a bracket that attaches to the space frame chassis

I wish I had remembered to chisel the brackets off the donor so I made these up.

Thanks for the pic That's where I was thinking, but for the British IVA the bracket would have to be welded I guess

So I am now at the point where I'm nearly finished with the MX5 stuff and I'm ready to build the kit, So I guess I have loads of questions, I've noted lots of holes / mounting points on the chassis, now because there are no instructions with the kit I am really curious to know what they do! 1: there are two mount points on the floor where the seats will go, ? 2: there are two mounts near the floor just behind where the rear bulkhead will be?
3: there are two cylindrical mount points at the very top of the chassis?
Also are the original MX5 brace/strength bars, that go from Diff towards the front of the car, required?

Well I've finally sorted out the foot wells and the transmission tunnel. I guess I'll tackle the wiring after that

So with regards to the rear body mounting bracket, where abouts are you supposed to drill the holes, does anybody have an acurate measurement? thanks
