So I am in the VERY early stages of (presumably) a Vodou build using a Miata NC as a donor. I secured a 2006 on the cheap and would have preferred an NA or NB, but the price was too good to pass up. I have seen a few posts with respect to using the NC front knuckles, but couldn't seem to locate a definitive answer here as to how best to adapt them (if in fact anyone here has). There is a gentleman in Australia that used a combo of Ford Transit and B2200 parts, along with machining the Miata knuckles...but it seemed like there SHOULD be an easier answer. My own private utopia would be an off the shelf screw in ball joint that would fit both the NC knuckle and Kinetic control arms. Wishful thinking? Thank you in advance for any and all advice.

P.S. I am trying to avoid using wheel adapters to get the 5 on 114.3 as much as humanly possible.
