Apart from the tombstone and some of the wiring connectors, it is the same process as NA dash removal. NA and NB dashes are largely interchangeable so the mounting points are basically the same.

There is an article on the miata.net forum (garage section) for LHD cars and ours are not that much different so use that as a guide. Buy a six pack and get to work, shouldn't take much longer than 2-3 hours.

Cheers for that. I did find that one but it seems the radio mounts different. Some say you don't need to take out radio.
Surely some guys have done thus? All bolts removed but still snagging. Will keep trying, feel free to chime in with some tips :)

Seriously......any tips.....someone has obviously done this. Really appreciate it ;)
Or alternatively if you are around Ipswich and have a spare 1/2 hour it would be even better

Well I have all bolts undone, cluster is out. It seems the bottom of the console wants to move but the top section near the screen seems resistant.
Any tips from here?

Cheers for that tescoking, had to remove the A pillar trims, just stuck on that big white connector near ignition. Any clues?
