    Not sure they can work on LHD cars.

    a guy on mx5nutz was fabbing these, but as stated above, he wasn't able to get the LHD set up to standard

    Not stainless steel, but Rev9 sells aluminium or aluminium and wood combo turn signals.

    No mention of whether they fit on LHD cars, but nothing to say they don’t either
    You want a good car. I want a good miata.

    But first as always little things...



    I polished up my indicator stalks today. The nasty green/ gray coating on them is super super thin and soft, I just hit with a couple licks of some 320 and it was all gone. Then I went through strips of Norton Pads from 400 to 4000. All of this was in a single direction to give it a brushed look. The secret to this is don't wet sand. Like at all. Little 3mm wide strips of sand paper and just go back and forth all the way around.



    Looks pretty nice, also ties together the whole cluster/ dash panel together.

    Also I posted these photos to my instagram, go check it out, alec_hall

    I did likewise on my NB.

    I did a quick, easy project that I've been wanting to do for quite a while. The stalks on my turn signal and wiper control had become pretty corroded. So, I grabbed some metal polishing paste and a strip of terry cloth and polished them up.



    Right stalk unpolished, left stalk after about 5 mins of work.

    Both stalks all polished up and the plastics reinstalled around the steering column.

    Don't think so. But it's also the only option I know of to restore the stalk lettering. And he only just started making and selling the decals a few months ago.

    Not yet and not sure I will bother - I actually don't touch the surfaces where I applied them but with your cruise control etc you may find it useful?
