I have some got them off shaneh on here. Unreal differnce with them as standard mx5 lock is shit. At the moment my track rods are hitting the wishbones on full lock but gonna notch a small bit outa the wishbone to get more. Em im also running 15x8 et10 on the front as i had 15x7 et38 and they were rubbing way before full lock. Oh i also have rack spacers on aswelbut they might work enough for you. Eh i just took out the tie rod and put 3 €2 coins without the centre and a bit of studlock on each side. Then u will need the car aligned. Try the spacers first and see how you get on.

He has a jig and get them welded. Eh ya i got rid of the power steering completly using the flying miata guide and it feels grand a small bit heavy when stopped but when your moving is grand i had no problems my last day out with it. I would start with the spacers and see how you get on mite be enough lock for you and still can keep the power steering Because if you go with knuckles it will fuck up the seals in the rack
