    White and Black Vinyl now available as well as silver Ally

    got a bunch of drift buttons (spin turn knobs) made up in proper mx5 fitment, most of the alledged mx5 fitment buttons you can buy on ebay and elsewhere are actually AE86 fitment and are too long for mx5's which cause's your handbrake to jam and not work correctly, they are also too narrow and wobble about, the ones i have are perfect fit with correct length and girth.

    £11.50 each delivered (uk)

    It Disable's the spring ratchet mechanism of your handbrake making it essentially a fly off hand brake, enabling you to be to pull the handbrake without having to keep your finger on the button, just pull up and let go again it will drop straight down but also still be able to lock the handbrake in the up position for parking etc just buy pulling it up and flicking the button forwards and hey presto its locked.

    Simple to fit just unscrew the original button remove the spring and replace the button with the spin turn knob without the spring in place.

    the rx7 ones do screw on but they're far too long for the mx5 and end up jamming the mechanism and totally dont work really.

    do you want to preorder one or wait till i've got em ? bear in mind i've only listed up for sale today and i've sold 5 already, if you want to preorder i'll pm you payment details right away :thumbs:
