the other day i ordered new o-rings for the Sanden a/c system on my 85 GS> i only ordered a couple of each. when the o-rings came in, they came in in a bundle and all with a label of NLA. so needless to say, i bought them all. so, the o-rings for the Sanden system are now no longer available (except for the large o-ring on the compressor). here are a copuple pics of the now unobtanium o-rings:

In this case, "NLA" stands for Norsk Langsdenstruuden Artfunken... Norwegian Rubber Fabricators, the company that made them.
No, not really; I totally made that up. Made you look, though.
Nice score; maybe you can micrometer them and post dimensions against part numbers in case others need them in future?

i'd definatly be happy to do that! i bought an o-ring kit from napa that was supposed to be for th e85 with sanden air, but it was missing one o-ring. it lacks the small compresor o-ring. of course that ne was NLA from the dealer. its listed as "o-ring sae 114 (discharge)". part number was 0000-67-0123-38. but i compared the old one to the one in my metric o-ring kit and it matched up pretty well and seems to be sealing. before hand though, i compared it to the o-rings in the sae o-ring kit that i have and there was no size close.

also to add to the realm of unobtanium, i bought the last MOMO shift ****/boot combo for my 88 10th Anniversary. was the last one ever sold un the U.S. it originally listed for nearly $375. since i have an preferred account at the Mazda dealer, i was able to buy it for a shade over $230 (did not come with the plastic shift surround). definatly worth the money because of the restoration i've been doing on my 10AE. here are the pics:

that steering wheel is beautiful!!! the shitf ****/boot is going on the car as soon as i get a chane to go over to my other garage and lift the cover off of the 10AE! i bought a set of brand new (circa 1988) 10AE floor mats for my 10AE. after a year of sitting i put them in the car.

Dave and Stu,
Hate to tell both of you about it but about 2 years back Mazda told me that the 10th AE **** shift boot was NLA .... amazingly enough they were able to find "what they said" was the last one and got it to make 2 that I have for both our AEs. Obviously Mazda doesn't track their inventory like they should so there might still be more out there. With that said I will have to post the pics when I get home but for our AEs we got the following NOS
2 Lock sets
1 set Floor mats
1 10th AE bra
2 sets of A pillar trims
2 sets of floor mat patches
2 shift **** sets.
2 sets of fender badges

Newbie here, so don't laugh, but this is my personal unobtanium...
Black 87, turbo, 21k miles, one owner before me, looks and drives like new, and now I gotta figure out how to attach the pics!
