Bits and Pieces
Really the only thing I put out real cash for was the steering wheel. I would have liked to go low budget but just like the carpet I had a picture in my mind of what the steering wheel should be. I searched the web sites, looked at build logs and checked car shows. Only one steering wheel was just right and it was made by Momo. Not only does it look right but it feels right. I don’t regret spending the money on it at all.
Steering Column
Stock Miata. It came with the donor and played nice with the wiring harness. It has the collapsible safety thingy which is good. It looked right with the other parts. The only down side was trying to find a universal joint that fit it. I went street rod on it using double D shafts. I’m not sure you can weld steering parts in PA and didn’t want to anyway. I don’t remember the details anymore but it was a tough part to find. The one in the picture is double D on both sides so that was easy to find. The big pain is hiding out of frame.

Mirrors
Keeping with the MG theme the mirrors came from Moss Motors.

Same for the wind wings.
Well, that about does it, not very complicated. I thought about putting a tape player in it so I could play the theme from The Prisoner while I drive but I’ve been told that they don’t make tape players anymore.
