Hey guys. I have been in contact with my local mazda dealer because I broke one of the bolts that hold the front cover. They all have various sizes but the one I need is 2" long (including the head. The dealer got the shortest one they have available for the front cover and its the 2.5" bolt which won't fit...its too long.


-Has anyone had this issue before?
-Where can I get this bolt?

The picture below is the same picture I sent to the parts guy at the mazda dealer to show which bolt it is i'm looking for.

 

I have plenty of those if you want to pay shipping.

 

They are the 2" long ones for sure? If so send me a PM with your paypal email address and how much you want for shipping. That would be totally awesome.

I just want to get my car back together!

 

I've handled, oh, 400 or so front covers, so yeah I know which ones. There are 3 short ones about 2 inches, 2 longer ones about 3 inches, and one that is slightly longer (1/8") than those 2.

 

Mazda part number 99801-0840....from the parts fische.

 

I use stainless steel bolts from ace hardware :P

 

Hey guys anyone else have access to these bolts? RotaryRessurection is not answering PMs

 

Just call Mazdatrix and order a new one. They'll have one. Just tell 'em where it is on the cover. Also download the parts fische for your car. It's found in the FAQ.

 

Go to a fastener store and get an M8 x 1.75 bolt of the appropriate length. Or get something long and cut to fit. The exact size is not critical as long as it engages enough threads but doesn't bottom out.

 

BS, I never got a single PM from you. Maybe if you spelled it correctly...
