Post 502 has one of the grommets I used for the shaft, I used slightly smaller ones for the bolts. The shaft grommets fit in washers to squeeze them on the shaft a bit. Post 524 is actually made from a single port can. The grommeted washers go in place of the Teflon washer and the inner tube seal. I dented the top of the can to clear the nut.
Sorry I didn't take pictures this time.

Turbosmart?s NEW Twin Port IWG-75 Internal Wastegate Actuators
Might also consider this^
Since I have no idea how long these modified actuators will hold up and the diaphragm can't be replaced. I have also been toying with buying a kinugawa one to modify because it would be easy to change diaphragms and springs.

Raced a brand new Ferrari today, he definitely had more power but I had the advantage, multiple times.
Every time I got the advantage, he got shut down. Finally we had a good pull side by side. He pulled up next to me on the stop light at the same exit and I said don't feel bad this is a 12 second Miata. He genuinely said "wow, your car is really fast, nice to see someone who enjoys driving."

My car doesn't need a driveshaft hoop yet, I think it's because of my all seasons. I think as long as I run DOT tires, I don't need a hoop. If I run real slicks, then a hoop is required and they make me run in "Comp Rod" instead of "Gear Jammers". I think I am good down to 11.99, hmmmm, maybe 12.49. I will look it up.
They are pretty strict at my local track from what I understand.
