Will the drivetrain from the MX5 fit into the stock haynes roadster chassis?

Name says it all really, what modification, if any, is required to fit it? I was thinking if I could still use all the standard wishbones and stuff, I'd hate to finish building it then get a donor and it not fit

Thanks, Pete

Nope, but google Saturn sports cars they sell everything you need. And if u want to see a complete ford based roadster your welcome to pop over and take a butchers at mine

they sell the chassis parts, and it gives you the option of type 9 or MT-75 :s

Do you know if the mx5 flatpack set comes with the brackets for the wishbones and shocks?

The engine and gearbox from a 1994 Mazda MX5/Eunos are fitted in my Stuart Taylor Locost.

Check out my photo' archive. I shortened the sump and cut some mounting points off the tail of the gearbox otherwise it fitted - JUST.

im wondering whether it is worth getting the mx5 chassis set because they are charging quite a lot for the matching wishbone set :s
