Carburetor hardware kit?
Carburetor hardware kit?
Alright some quick and good context first:
I bought a 1981 rx7 from a guy who already took off the OEM 4 barrel Nikki carb. Problem is he already disassembled it and frankly left it very unorganized. I was able to find out what parts I do and don't have, well the parts with actually numbers available on the Part Index manual you can find on Foxed.co. along with the carb manual featured on there.
The issue now is that I have no idea what bolts or screws I'm missing since they don't have part numbers, just standard part numbers which I've already made a thread about.
Rebuilt kits can give me the washers and the gaskets no problem but are there any hardware kits out there that aren't specific to this Nikki carb or really Nikki at all that features the same size bolts that are used? Thanks!

One more thing to add, I am also open to the idea of just getting a giant kit of like hundreds of different metric sizes that are built to really last for awhile in an automotive environment if anyone has any good recommendations.
Try Atkins Rotary or MazdaTrix. They both have them. One thing to be aware of with Atkins, they will show Mazda part numbers on some parts, but they are not genuine Mazda parts. The part numbers are only for reference. The issue is that you may not know if the part is from Mazda or not.

most of the hardware on the carb is the same thread size, and it only varies in length.
some of the really old carb modding people like Sterling, used to replace all the screws with allen heads. so once you figure out the thread size (M4?) and length, the hardware store or Belmetric works
Mazda also uses JIS standard for their hardware, so like an M6 is a 1.0 thread with a 10mm hex. i'm not sure what the JIS is for the carb stuff, but that is what it will be
