Were they helpful when you asked for a different shaped rear window?
A new roof on mine is something that I want but I don't want a sewn in rear window as it is always the part that needs replacing first.
I was wondering if an MX5 glass rear window could be fitted into a modified roof.

I had this with my Sl, can you hear the motor working?  My drain hole had become blocked and the wire that runs on the pulleys had rusted through and snapped. Managed to get a 2nd hand replacement from Ebay in the US, much cheaper than a 2nd hand UK unit.

If you are using the MWS bolt on wires for the Jags you should use spigot rings otherwise you may get quite a bit of vibration.
I used the same wheels on my Z3 and used the measurements 73.8 and 72.6. You can order them quite reasonably for about £15 a set from a seller on Ebay

I also used longer wobble bolts as the pcb is slightly different on the Jag and BMW.
Finally I cut two long studs to fit the hub to allow the wheel to be fitted more easily, just screw them in a few threads by hand.  The wires weigh a ton and are very hard to lift and align by one person, It is much easier to lift them onto the aligning stubs.
I wrapped most of the studs with electrical tape so that the threads don't damage the chrome. Keep them in the bag with the wheel brace.

Nice looking wheel, while you don't have to fit wires, they do look very good. The chrome against the black on the Miami Vive NcBernie replica always looked stunning.

What size are the wheels? I take it that the set of chrome MWS bolt on 15" wire that I recently purchased aren't going to be suitable.

The earlier small engine cars had a narrower rear track. You can reduce yours by fitting their shorter drive shafts (and probably some other parts).
There is someone on Ebay in Wiltshire selling complete 1.9's (minus leather seats & hoods) for £275. Only really useful for scrap but a cheap way of getting
a complete rear end to bolt in.

I've been using stainless steel flange nuts, very cheap on Ebay. You can get away without using a washer or spring washer. The inner flange is serrated so it acts as a locking washer.

At last, I can post
Mitsubishi GTO's use pop up headlights and are surprisingly cheap and plentiful on Ebay. The other obvious choice would be MX5 MK1, millions available.
