Hello all! This is my second FC now , so im a bit familiar with the base knowledge but deeper in depth knowledge is still coming to me. I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. I have a 86 sport I've got the motor out now, the problem is I took everything apart 2 plus years ago had most of the hardware put back on where it went, but due to paint the hardware was removed and put into a bag. I had a alot of videos and pictures as well before tearing apart but got a new phone since then. So due to my stupidness I'm now stuck with everything apart and not sure how it all goes back together. Any insight, pictures, videos or writeups for installing everything in the correct place again would be helpful! Also if any recommends a hardware kit offline that'd be great, due to half of my hardware being rusted and broken.

I'm not sure om the sizes of all the pitches and nuts and bolts for the bay only, any information I've been seeing is 30 years old now and no pictures or videos to boot unfortunately.

 

Nice work so far. Some here can help. What I would do is pick a section and post a picture. The list of hardware for the entirety of the car is extensive.

I can help with some of the wheel well hardware and a few others.

 

Thanks!, im mainly just trying to figure out the bay everything else is intact and ready to go.

 

If you look at the drawing on the Mazda site. If you find the screw, nut or bolt that you need, if I am not mistaken, you can de-code the part numbers. Encoded in the part numbers are sizes, etc.

If you look for the breakdown on here, it is very useful.

Edit: there are a lot of flanged 6 x 1 x 10mm bolts that hold things into the firewall and wheel well. Mazda may offer those? I could not find one aftermarket seller of that size bolt with a flange. I saved mine and will have them refurbished some day, possibly, with my extra brackets. If you find some of those bolts, report back, thanks.

I ordered non flanged ones and added a very thin captive washer that I painted black. The ones I bought were grade 5 so it looked, okay. Zinc coated everything would look better, I think.

 

Most fasteners are only going to thread in roughly equivalent to the diameter of the head size. This should at least get the majority of them placed.

 

feel free to post pics, we can play guess the part
