Install Front and Rear Aluminum Angles
Using the bolts from the factory hard top or those supplied in the kit, install the aluminum angle rails in the existing holes on the top of the body edge. Fasten the bolts with the 5/16″ Nuts and 5/16″ Washers from the parts kit. There should be a 3″ space between the two pieces on each side for the Bow Mounting Bracket. There will be an extra hole at either end of the rails. Drill a 3/16″ hole in the body at these locations and use the #14 x 1/2″ Sheet Metal Screws to secure the rails in place.

Congratulations on purchasing the FM Fuel Rail! We’re confident that this is a high quality piece that will help ensure the safety and performance of the engine in your Miata. Following are instructions that will help you safely install this piece.

1. The fuel system first needs to have its pressure re- lieved. There are two ways to do this, it’s safest to do them both. First, find the relay that’s pictured to the side. It will be underneath the dash, near the steering column. It should look similar to the relay in the picture, but different years had different relays, so it might not be exactly the same. Look for a blue wire with a red stripe, that’s the wire that goes to the fuel pump. Start the car and let it idle. While the car is idling, unplug the relay. This will kill the engine, as it’s no longer being fed the fuel it needs. Turn the car off once the engine has stopped. The gas cap also needs to be removed, to ensure that pressure doesn’t build up in the tank. Don’t reinstall it until the fuel rail is in.
