Hey guys,

I have been looking all over for new clamps like this. None of the local parts stores seem to carry them. Mine are all caked in oil, and rusting apart. I'd really like to replace them all but I can't seem to find them anywhere.



Has anyone bought them anywhere besides a Mazda dealer? If you have please let me know! Thanks!

Jamie

I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be suprised if they want at least a couple dollars a piece for them. I have never, ever bought anything at the dealer for less than $5, including hard to find hardware. I ABSOLUTELY don't want to go to the dealer unless I have to.

I wanted to replace those as well, couldnt find them, but didn't check the dealer either. I ended up cleaning them up and painting them for my project

I've bot a TON of stuff from the dealer for cheap, infact I think I've had entire orders under $5 with a few dozen parts.

nothing for a first gen though, all FC stuff.

I sandblasted, primed and plastic dipped mine. Takes 2 coats of plastic dip. Hung them on wire to dry, now I have little plastic dots all over the shop floor.

The plastic dip also comes in colors if you want to get fancy.
