The Moog Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I will need to have a look at what wheels I have got. Definitely got a set of mini steels and 14inch daisy wheels. If you want suspension then talk to Mr Monkey - we have got bucket loads between us. You are more than welcome to my gearbox as I just keep tripping over it. If you wanted to arrange a time I am sure Moog and Monkeys fitting services might be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took all day (6 hrs) because I fitted one with a glass rear window from mazmania in knutsford. This required drilling the frame and pop riveting webbing straps to the frame. There was 1 stubborn bolt which I struggled to remove, which wasted 2 hours. Also my electric screw driver gave up. Finally when I thought I'd nearly finished it wouldn't close. After phoning the MD of mazmania, who laughed on the phone, it became clear that I'm a Muppet. On loosening the bolts/ screws at the back of the car, the roof was able to fit. And then I could tighten them up. theshadow and spartacus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual paper instructions were really shite. I reckon if I was doing them every week I could get it down to 2 hours. 1duck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I believe you can you need a wiper stalk from an RX8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty45 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Yes, @hairnetthe RX8 is usually the more expensive route though. Mazda 6 also has the same stalk. Watch out you don't get one for an estate. I bought a new one from China on eBay last month. About £15. Almost identical to the other stalk apart from the signs being slightly duller. The intermittent relay makes a noticeable click, but for brand new I can live with that. Very easy to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 1 hour ago, xtriple said: I believe you can you need a wiper stalk from an RX8. Is that not the mk3 model that shares parts with the rx8 ? Mr Hairnet has a mk2 which has more in common with the mk1. Is it a "flick to wipe once" or a "variable intermittent" wipe that you are after ? Flick is just pull instead of push on the stalk, intermittent wipe would be a whole can of electrical worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
