MX5 Rear Uprights

Due to me not having the minerals to remove the through bolts from the lower wishbone i now have to useless rear uprights so i am looking for 2 to replace the ones i am about to put in the bin.

Require 2 rear uprights that have had all bolts removed from them. Just need the bare items.

Any help much appreciated. Croydon based.

I removed the bolts from 3 sets of mx5 rear uprights in 2008 and I didn't have any trouble at all. I can't even remember how i did it? Whats the issue?

Did you post another thread about this? my brain is failing.

I might still have a set in the back of the garage. Assuming yours are not damaged I'll do a straight swap if you cover postage.

I cut the lower bolts with a powered hack saw then heated the bit of bolt left and hit it out with a hammer and chisel.

No it wont but heating it up with Oxy bottles will make it easy to get out. Mine were rock solid. The Bolts are best part of £13 each!
