Fuel door kicker question (interchange)
My car needs a kicker... actually it's needed a kicker for six or seven years. It's finally pissing me off enough to do something about it.
Atkins has the FC kicker... and Miata NB kicker... and NC kicker... and they all look like what the FB kicker looks like.

Has anyone tried using one of these in a Series 3?
I also need to replace the button since some dumbass ripped the button off trying to pop the hatch (huh??) but I'll just use a generic button for that.

the FC and Miata are both cable operated. that being said, i just had both apart to get the cables and both mechanisms (FC and Miata) looked the same. been a while since i have seen an FB one though..

FB is electric. It's also buried to where you can't actually see it, but it *feels* like the FC/Miata units. Maybe there's a separate cable pull?
I need the kicker in part because mine is siezed.

I couldn't stomach the thought of racing one, though. I'd keep it stock and rub it with a diaper.

No, it's missing. It's a pull button on the left underdash in the same cubbyhole as the hatch release button.
That does look like what my fingers say it looks like. Two M6, maybe M5 threaded holes on the business end?
