Miata MX5 Trunk Torsion spring spacer, increase strength
Description
after i installed a Ducktail spoiler on my Miot i realized that even on the strongest setting, the torsion bar wasnt powerful enough to hold my trunk lid up. after some internet research i found some hacks where u could put washers underneath the torsion bar resting position to twist it a few more mm. i found that it works but it feels kinda janky and doesnt look nice, so i made a pic of the bracket, modelled it in fusion and made a extension or spacer which fits right over the original position and just spaces it further so u have more twist against the trunk. it works good enough to hold the trunk up, i would have liked some more sttrength behind it but there is just so much u can do without bending the bar itself. its my first time using fusion so its probably not the best but it works nicely and looks quite good and sleek aswell. be careful when fitting it, the spring can hurt if it unloads suddenly, i used the oem wheel change tool that came with the car and just used the flat bit to pry it out of the metal and than fit the printed part over it and put the bar back.
