For those of you that are running the mx5 fry bar on the rear. Where are you sourcing from and are you using the stock s2000 endlinks and clamps with the mx5 bushings or are other parts needed

Before I rolled the fenders I just bent the tabs with my fingers. The sheet metal on this car is very thin and easy to manipulate.

If you ever roll the fenders don't forget to heat up the edge lightly with a heat gun to prevent the paint from cracking. I don't think this is needed to bend the tabs.

 

I used a fender roller and heatgun. Still cracked the paint and added small waves to the fender but I won't be hitting the tab any time soon though. I don't think I pinched them flat, just took them to 45*.

 

I used a body hammer heat gun and a 2x4 wrapped in a towel to keep from scratching the paint. I actually beat mine flat at the time cause I was running stock 06 springs on the car on konis lower perch and the tire grabbed and pulled the fender on me.

As far as ride height ill have to check tonight when I get home from work but mileage is just over 60k. I've been racing the car for the last 4 years at least 25-30 weekends a year, so they have deffinately seen some abuse.

 

Personally I just used a heat gun to keep the paint from cracking too much and bent it up with a PVC pipe that I wrapped in rubber. Then I put a thin line of touchup paint on the point where the tab meets the fender since that had made a thin line opening in the paint.

I did not tuck the liner behind, I zip tied it and used the stock clips on some holes to keep it on the correct side. It was kind of tough to get it just right to be able to do this, but it works.

 

Yea I tucked the liner above the tabs and then but a zip tie through both holes on a couple of them to help hold it in place. I took a flat head screw driver, put it on the edge of the hole in the tab and pushed it up as far as it would go.

 

I'd like this info as well. THanks!

 

I just used my codrivers mx5 base front sway bar.

It works with the S' endlinks and uses the bar's brackets, but ya have to move the collar and slightly drill the holes on the brackets for clearance.

Hope I remembered that correctly, but I believe I posted this info way back in this thread... sso ya might want to confirm if I'm remembering it correctly.

To add to what Dave said you just use to miata brackets s2000 bolts, miata bushings and the s2000s endlinks. If you google Mazda parts department it will be one of the first links. I'm at work on my phone I'll try to look it up in a second. It was $90 or so total.

 

This link will work...
