See my post re new roof.
I have seen the historical post regards MX5 clocking, but did some due diligence and was happy with Nathan.

Looks like I have an option closer to home - I've found a trimmer here in Scotland who's confident he can make a new soft top and my usual mechanic is comfortable with fitting it (he drives a roadster himself).

Failing that, Car Hoods Northern in Manchester have given me a fair quote, and even offered to come up to Glasgow and do a mobile fitting.

the last time i looked for mobile fitted price was over £1000.

sound like you have found your best option when done do show as we all like a new roof picture 8)  8)

Once I factor in the cost of driving/petrol, overnight stays, meals, etc ... then even a Swansea or South West roof would cost me over £1,000 in total, so prices in that higher range but nearby end up comparable.

I'd forgotten about this thread.

Just to update ... this was put on hold while the car had not one, but two engine swaps along with a lot of other work. But Andy at J-Spec fitted an A1-condition soft top for me last month and it's looking great. I've driven in torrential rain without a single leak. Great stuff.
