How close is the fit? Have you a photo of your clockspring?
I think the later Miata clockspring is thinner, have one in the shed I think, will check later, I'll pop you a PM if I do.

Do these replacement steering wheels on the mk2's also come with airbags? I'd be reluctant to mess around with the safety features of the car and if you do replace the wheel with the non-airbag type you're gonna be left with a warning light showing on the dash..straight fail on the nct if I'm not mistaken??
