Miata PPF in a 3rd gen?

Ok, well, I was at a junk yard a couple of days ago and I saw a miata sitting there. I took a look inside and it's PPF was sitting across the seats. It looks to be a lot stronger than the FD's PPF. Its made out of pretty thick aluminum. I didn't take any measurments, but it looked really close to the FD's in size. Does anybody know if they fit?

Wrong side for one. Ours attach on one side the tranny. Theirs attaches to the other side. I can take pics since I have both.

Two, not strong enough. We break our steel ones all the time. I doubt AL would hold.

Thanks for the replys! I thought it looked to be stronger even though it was made out of aluminum. To bad it mounts on the wrong side. I was breaking mine with just a street ported 13brew. Since I'm putting this 20b single turbo in, I don't know what to do about it. I think I may just make one, agh!
