When I was reassembling the car I loosely fitted the T-top side mounts and then went on to fit the quarter trim panels. When doing up the top screw I could see the side mount being push outwards.
The screws I had where about 3/4" long when they really only need to be half that length.

Thanks Geoff, might come in handy for someone reinstalling their interior.
Pictures of how it was previously and how it is now.

A few more small jobs to finish off and the car will be back on the road again.
Its been about 18 months since I started and in that time I have replaced the rear quarter panels with CIC 2" flared quarters, filled in the exhaust cut outs in the rear filler panel, re-sprayed and colour sanded the complete car, fitted a new 427 small block engine and Legend 5 speed gearbox, fitted 3.9 gears in the diff, fitted a hydraulic clutch, replaced the brake booster with a Hydroboost unit, fitted an intank fuel pump and changed the fuel delivery system, removed the complete vacuum system and fitted electric headlight motors, replaced the gauges in the center cluster with Autometer gauges. That's about all I can think of at the moment!!!
I have started the engine but still need to work on the tune. I have also bleed the clutch which was a lot easier then I was expecting it to be. The clutch feels just slightly heavier then the clutch in my Holden ute (fitted with a Tremec).
For the wiper door I am going to use another MX5 motor. I have already done all the wiring for it and only need to make up the mounting bracket. I am also looking at doing a cold air intake but the lack of room in the front is making this difficult.
