Anyone know where to get some padding for where you put your left knee against the centre console when you're having some fun at roundybouts?

Save the "fun at roundybouts" for the track would be my advice.

There are a few "custom" ones on fleabay and Miata specialist shops in the US.
But yeah, just go to Clark and get them to cut to your measurements.

And besides, guess what the footrest under your left foot is for... :wink:

After over 40 years of being a wicket keeper my left knee (and the right one for that matter) is so worn out that I just need some padding there.

PS I've just been out to the car to try resting my left knee against the footrest and I can't see it working out.

After a day's racing or drifting, my left kneee hurts, as does my right shoulder.

I might look into making a left knee rest to save my old knees.............................
