    Cup Holder Spring - Where to find some?

    Hello,

    My Cup Holder on the centre section of my Mk2.5 has just snapped its spring,

    and now the lid just stays open and does not spring back. (next to the window winder switches).

     

    Any idea where you can get new ones, can't seem to find them on MX5 parts.

     

    Thanks,

    Rob

     The plastic lug breaks off, your best bet is to take the arm rest section out of the roadster,turn it upside down and unscrew the cup hold cubby free and just make up a new lug piece where it as snapped off, a small screw should do it ,other than that it's a good s/hand cup holder  from a breakers like Autolink,

    Don't try and super glue it ,the first time you come to use it ,it will just snap off again,it can be repaired with a small screw, you'll see once you have it from the roadster.

    M-m

    Please feel free to P.M me with any problems or questions.
