I am thinking of doing the above, with a set of parts obtained from a
Japanese spec Mk1 (Eunos).

Can anyone offer any pointers please? I'm not sure how easy a job this
is. I found an article on miata.net, but that appears to be for a Mk2
left hand drive.

There don't appear to be any holes in the firewall for the tubing,
neither does the wiring appear to be present.

TIA

This probably isn't very helpful, but it's a lot easier to sell the car
and buy a Eunos; if you don't like the image, just get a UK shape rear
trim panel and change all the badges. You might want to call Andrew
Stott at Autolink UK; he can probably advise on whether it's even
feasible, since he sells lots of new and salvage parts and is a general
MX-5 expert.

It's not worth selling/buying another - I'd lose too much on what I've
already spent on it. The a/c's not essential, but I have been offered
all of the parts at a good price.

Thanks for that, I've sent Andrew an email.
