MX5Ireland

Hi, I took the catch off the boot door of my Mk2 to paint the underside. I forgot to note which way up the catch was fitted. There is an "F" and an arrow printed on it. With the boot open what way should the arrow point. I thought upwards but then I wondered if it should point to the front (F) when closed, thereby pointing down when open. I'm afraid to close it in case I can't get it open again. Numpty, I know!

Hi, a bit of a late reply but here’s a pic of it on my mk1, should be the same in mk2 . Arrow pointing to back of boot lid

Thanks Pops. All sorted now. Turns out that this was the least of my problems. Front chassis and drivers side sill was rotten. Another £600 "invested"!

OUCH.... the things we do for the love of cars.

I'd say you got away light if it only cost 600,sometimes you never get to the end of things to do with the mx5
