dummy assembled an empty cylinderblock & head to start designing the drysump pump mount & how much the exhaust manifold needs adjusting (it was made for a Vauxhall engine)

After a high speed off on a muddy Wakefield infield recently, took it to the high pressure carwash, mainly for the underbody blast.
Poor decision.

I have lost count of the number of times a little bit of low strength masking tape (securing competition numbers) has ripped the paint off the doors of my 90 NA. Early MX5s seem to just have crap paint quality. Cheap and light I suppose.

The same actual bar, or just a similar one?

Got the new boy registered, and took it for the first drive. Slow, rattle-y fun!

Excellent. See too few Montego blue 5s. And mate, I just discovered the paint code is M8...

Its the same type of bar, Its not the same actual bar I sold 10 years ago. This one is suitable for both Plastic & Glass windows. My previous one was suitable for plastic only.
but the were both the polished alloy & this one doesn't rub on the hard top either. like some have in the past.
