Anyone have a picture of a MX5 diffed back end.
Just looking for some inspiration before i start on the rear end
Oui, monsieur! I will have plenty tonight. Don't have them on this computer. I have a fairly unique arrangement in that area of my car, but I have a ton of pics because I was so confused at the beginning of my build.

I take it you've gone through all the Aussie pics Liam?

wow thanks guys, had not had a look at the aussie pics
Sorry to hijack the thread,
But anyone know the wheel track, or hub/brake face to hub/brake face dimension on one of these rear setups?
Might graft one into my Mini.
Cheers

no worries this is one of the next things im going to measure accurately for my suspension design, will post it to this thread unless someone knows already. Ill stil measure it either way
There are 3 or 4 build diaries of car's built in Australia with MX5's. One of the particularly good ones is the guy that is in a
wheelchair...
One of them links to a couple of the others though, so a search for "Locost MX5" in google should have you going that way and then keep
looking from there!

Thanks guys for the links but I was specifically looking for pics where the rear sub frame was not used, only the running gear
Hi Liam
This is what I ended up doing .

I haven't forgotten getting some pics, Liam, but hockey playoffs are on, so less time at night in front of the computer.
Liam,
Should be many pics at www.cheapsportscar.net
MX-5 based Westfield build should have some ideas as well

here is one and the other to follow. One shot is from below. You can see the way the front part of the diff carrier attaches to the frame.
this is the upside down shot.
