MX5 rear axle width?
coozer - 26/2/09 at 08:29 PM

The question is, is it suitable to go under the back end of a Saxo without any body mods?

Anyone using one as a donor know the rear track width please??

I measured the mx5 only to replicate the original track width and fab my custom bones so I don't know and I don't have the donor parts here at the moment to check.

See my build diary for visual clues its a +442 fyi

1,670 mm rack width according to Wikipedia

just been out to measure mine. i get it at 64"/1625mm from outside of tyre to outside of tyre on the back. that's with stockish camber

it's reasonably approximate since it's dark, damp and cold, but it'll give you an idea
