Hey guys!
I have an '85 GSL that the sunroof opener handle threads broke on, and I have been scouring the internet trying to find anything pointing to anyone else having this issue. A few years back I remember I had been looking and saw a couple used assemblies for around $185.
I have finally sat down and designed a prototype handle to 3D print and have a working prototype that just needs some fine tuning for quality, but I was wondering if anyone else out there is struggling with broken sunroof opener parts for an old FB RX7. And if there's a market for this I would look into polishing up my design and producing more of them potentially.

 

I have the same issue, I would be interested.

 

Ill always encourage developmemt to keep these cars going. Go for it!

 

You may want to check with Riggs Rotary in Canada.....

 

They don't have an opener listed, also there prices are pretty crazy, but I know stuff is getting hard to find.

 

Did you messaged him? The prices he shows are Canadian....do the conversion to U S dollar......

Or you can check with Reinhart Rotary......I think that how it's spelled......

 

So on mine, only the handle parts threads broke. I wanted to make it a little fun so I dabbled with the idea of making the handle with a rotary shape.

Here's what I have so far.








I am about to move and unfortunately I think I may have to part with my FB before hand, but I could polish up the design and print more after I move, I just won't have the car.
