Hi guys,

First time on here and new to the world of MX5s so please be patient smile

I have just bought a MK2 MX5 (S reg) and am looking to get a couple of parts for it:
Screw-in non locking petrol cap
I have a hard top for her which is locked in place with 4 catches. The catches work by depressing a button and swinging the handle, however on a few of these catches the buttons don't seem to lock the handle down so you can move the handle without pressing the button. Any ideas/do they make replacement buttons/handles to fix this issue?

Thanks for your time.

Front latches on a HT are the same as on a ST. The rear HT latches are unique to the HT though.

If you want new latches, prepare to bend over. Cheap they are not.
