Hi Chaps,

Decided to have a sort out of the boot of my 93 Eunos today. Have a few questions about what I found.

1) What is this lead and should it be connected to anything?



2) There is this bolt through a small bracket near the battery, but there's nothing attached to it. What is it for?



3) This lead contains two fuses in the end box. Is it just supposed to be loose like that and what are the fuses for?



4) There's a plastic clip attached to the bodywork, again near the battery. What is it supposed to hold?



5) There are 5 holes surrounding where the battery should sit. I'm guessing that the one top right should have a grommet in it, but what are the other 4 for. I've highlighted then in yellow as they weren't easy to see in the original picure.



6) Lastly, I found this bracket loose in the boot. Any idea what it is?



Apologies if this is all obvious but I'm a bit of a noob to both MX5s and mechanicals/electricals in general.

Cheers.

Looks more like a battery bracket.

That would make sense. I'll have a look again a bit later and see if it works. Ta.

The cables may be for the power aerial (upgrade). Mine has them unused but they are marked.

That's a good shout. I think my car originally had the electric aeriel but it has been replaced by a fixed one. I won't worry about that one then. biggrin

That might explain the second picture too. I wonder if that was a mounting point for the electric aeriel.
