Re: [WIP] Mazda Mx5 (MK2)
Lunchtime special ....
Somehow i DID NOT snap the 3.2mm drill bit or break the m4 Chinese tap.. go figure... sure i break loads tomorrow now
parts bin special here ... speed is of the essence at the moment. i have to use small screws here as there isn't much clearance between battery modules and the frame and if i were to have a bump i don't want any bolt threads impacting the battery module.
