Wondering about getting one for motorway use.

The ones on MX5parts are a horrific price for a pair of tights in a metal frame!

I've noticed there are quiet a few Mk.2 ones on ebay with the mesh pocket and the folding down plastic bits, and they're much cheaper.

Are they easily fittable to Mk.1s?

The MX5parts ones don't look all that great to me, I must admit. The OEM Mk.2 one on my dad's car looks pretty good and they seem to be a lot cheaper s/h. If it can be made to fit a Mk.1 it looks the obvious solution. Couldn't find any relevant threads on MX5oc...

Does it really work OK? I have been reading that the mk.2 one is a bit low to work well. Happy to be wrong though!

Is it OK with the brace fitted?

Did the Mk2.5 seats need much alteration to fit in?
