Awesome clamps and service.
Did they recommend the mounting position?
As in closer together on the mounts, or apart, on the outer side of the swaybar mounts.
Hard to describe, sorry

Re: Rear sway bar clamps
Yeh, I know what you mean. Ideally they would go inside of the bush, but can also go outside of the bush, either way they need to be sitting right up snug next to it, otherwise it is till going to allow movement in the sway bar. The subframe stops me doing this, as I think you can kind of see in the pics on page 1

Re: Rear sway bar clamps
What about getting HD mounts?
Do they make them for MX5s?
Maybe they would give you more clearance?

Re: Rear sway bar clamps
Here's a link to whitelines site.

I know it's for Subaru.... Hence my comment asking if they make them for MX 5s.
EDIT
Check here too. Sorry I'm on an iPhone.

Perhaps it's a question Whiteline can answer.

Re: Rear sway bar clamps
Probably not going to work as I do not think that there is enough room. I also made me think I could use a spacer to space out the bracket from the subframe, but the bolts aren't long enough.

Re: Rear sway bar clamps
A washer, collar, shim, spacer, could do the trick.
As you say, provided you use longer bolts.
I'll make some calls tomorrow.

Re: Rear sway bar clamps
So this is a photo of the actual ones I got

I am going to try taking a few mm off of the bottom of one side, and see what happens.
Thanks very much for your help greenman

Cheers
Glad Whiteline sent you those ones rather than the press fitting fail ones.
