Check you soft top tension cables
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 12:05 pm
Hey all,
Have recently purchased a 2nd hand NB soft top and frame. After getting it home I noticed that the tension cable on the drivers side had rusted through and snapped. The passenger side was also rusted and was only held together by a couple of strands.
I ended up buying a replacement set of cables from MX5PARTS.CO.UK they are stainless steel, made by IL Motorsports in Germany and best of all cost 50% of the original Mazda ones. Cost me just under AUD$30 landed in Aust.

by how much gunk is in there. BUT it is a potential rust spot go straighten a wire coat hanger and clear it out.
