I had look at them and its looks like "standard" bolt set , definitely not specific to mx5 only. I know this from nearly 25 years at mx5 and there are approx 30/40 different Types/sizes etc of bolts including some real special ones .Definitely not in the photo

That's a shame.
Luckily most of the original bolts are good quality and clean up quite well.

No they are definitely not OEM nor MX5 specific.

I probably should have included the description to avoid confusion :

"These are a selection of popular sizes of Metric nuts, bolts & washers used in the restoration of a MAZDA MX5.
Please note this is not a complete restoration kit only a selection of the most popular sizes."

"CONTAINS 350 PIECES - a selection of the following sizes:

M6 X 12

M6 X 16

M6 X 25

M6 X 30

M6 X 40

M8 X 16

M8 X 20

M8 X 25

M8 X 30

M8 X 40

M10 X 25

M10 X 40

M10 X 50

M6 / M8 / M10 NUTS & NYLOCS

M6 /M8 / M10 FLAT & SPRING WASHERS"

They are good value but bar the droplinks I cant see much more use for nuts and bolts of them sizes as most mx5 stuff is bolted in (no nuts) and even the ones with nuts are longer bolts , really specific "car" bolts rather then "standard" bolts but would still be handy to have the assortment for general use
