NA front fender braces - where to source?

Postby twr7cx » Tue Aug 13, 2019 3:44 pm

Any recommendations on where to source front fender braces for the NA MX-5?

The Garage Star units seem to be the lightest and pretty popular in the USA but they've moved to a new company (Circuit Dreamer < https://circuitdreamer.com/product/part ... er-braces/ > - the exact same address and the old Garage Star links forward to their site) which doesn't ship internationally (I know there's freight forwarders but seems to be more complicated than needed).

Try Flyin Miata and there Paco Motorsports strong arms. Shipping will not be cheap and exchange rate is miserable.

I have found the freight forwarders good for both cheap shipping and when purchasing goods where the seller does not ship overseas. However some others have advised that they have had problems.

Cheers. Ended up going with the GarageStar/Circuit Dreamer units as they seem to be by far the lightest. Have used AusPost ShipMate to freight forward it to me and their cost is far far less than what some of the US sites wanted to charge for shipping to Australia!

Have used ShipMate a couple of times from US and been happy apart from their lack of tracking details. In fact when I rang them regarding one item they couldn't even trace the item themselves!
