Anyone fitted / used one of these? I'd appreciate your feedback.

No real experience with any of them myself, but with all the positive feedback I've seen over the years the MiataRoadster kits seem to be the way to go. More $$$ but proven.

Yes, the MiataRoadster kit is the gold standard, but I can't justify spending that much - hence my search for more information on this possible alternative at a quarter of the price.

I've made that mistake before, then kicked myself for wasting time and money on the cheaper option.

Experience teaches you "Do it right first time, even it costs more up front, you'll waste time and money redoing it later otherwise".

G'day Beavis, great to see you sell a similar product as I'd prefer to deal with a forum sponsor. Have you used one of these yourself, or can you refer me to someone who has?

And... is that a delrin shifter tip bushing that's included in your kit?

I have one on my NA. And there are about 8 others here in Aus that have them now.

The tip bushing is machined acetal. You can alternatively re-use the factory bushing if you wish as OEM is almost always best.
