  1. I have a Miata CF base, and a KH rail adapter, along with many standard
    KH posts. without paying 70$ for a new rail adapter is there another
    way to attach the base to the post. has anyone tried making a nylon or
    rubber shim?

  2. Can you just drill the different hole pattern in the base?

    That's not a big deal. Just make sure the mounting plate doesn't
    contact the carbon fiber at a point or along an angled edge.

    What I do is put fender a fender washer on each bolt between the carbon
    fiber and the mounting plate. The edge of the mounting plate makes
    contact with the fender washer instead of the carbon fiber. That
    spreads out the contact force and will keep the carbon fiber from
    cracking prematurely.

    Other people have used a thick piece of rubber, but I like the fender
    washer idea better.
