I've actually been kicking this around over the past few days... If somebody could get me a really good dimensioned drawing, I could get a few adapters done pretty cheap.
Material is going to be more than $60 unless some turns up at a scrap yard, though, and CNC time isn't free... |

How about you take one for the team and pull yours out and send it to me to measure?

Hardest part will be sourcing the aluminum plate. |
I want to do it so mine can be free, though :(
|
12"x14" 6061 1/2" aluminum plate $65.19 locally... just saying... ill pick it up tomorrow on my day off.
|
Man, I have to think that you'll need at least a 16x16 piece to work from. And sheets larger than 12x12 go up in price exponentially.

Now on to the adapter plate. It is a 12"x14"x1/2" 6061 T6 aluminum plate.

so i kind of f'd up by being lazy and not measuring for myself... i need a 14x15 piece of plate... bad thing is that i already called about the 12x14 and they said they can cut the new piece but they are gonna charge me for both since they already cut the one. i tried to explain that i have no use for a piece thats too small and but the sales woman was pretty rude and said tough crap and that i had to buy both...i told her ill take neither and im now looking for another source for the plate... on the plus side i picked up my 1.8 miata torsion lsd complete rear end

i pulled the rear end out of the spitfire for a little comparison... the stock spitfire rear end assembly weighs at least 2/3 if not 3/4 of what the whole miata drop out weighs. damn cast iron. with it out i can lift the rear of the frame off the ground with one hand.

I was there and he made me lift it:giggle:
This really should get moved to the BUILD Threads section though. To document the awesomeness |

To document the awesomeness more updates... pick n pull now puts all BP miatas in their premier yard... and charges alot more for the parts... either way i got a complete 94 front subframe. the sway bar to a hit but i was planning on upgrading it any ways so im not too concerned about it. everything else looks perfect. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1332476123 i love my 12sec micro van https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1332476123 everything stacked neatly waiting on the tubing to build my new frame https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1332476123 |
aww yeah
so do you still need the floor? |
yea. if it has the trans tunnel and junk on it still
|
sure does.
as soon as I have time I'll strip the interior out and bust out the saw |
Awesome project.
I have the FD transmission & the 370hp miata, need to put them together :), so I'm definitely in for a copy of that plate pattern, or a pre-fabbed plate, if you are building one. Quite willing to split design costs. -- Glenn |
Yeah me as well. I have and FD trans I'd love to use. How would PPF mounting work? I know RX7 transmissions have PPF mount areas but I imagine you would just need a rear diff brace and ditch the ppf?
