Turbo 2 Side Skirts Rocker Panel Clips

Hello Members,
I am in need of some Turbo 2 Side Skirts Rocker Panel Clips. These are the clips that secure the Turbo 2 Side Skirts underneath the body of the car. There are 5 holes on either side (driver / passenger).
The dealer doesn`t sell these clips any more. I was thinking of using a rubber Well nut or a Jam nut but not having any luck finding the diameter to fit the holes.

The hole is 19mm or 3/4"

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Andre

Sure it's the same? They only list that number for >1993, while the '89-'91 clips are FC17-51-PS1A which are N/A.

there is a clip that holds the screw in the BOTTOM of the rocker panel, FC17-51-PS2A, and use screws

then there are clips on the SIDE of the rocker panel FC17-51-PS1A, which are available in Japan, https://www.amayama.com/en/part/mazda/fc1751ps1a


if, like me, you're starting with a non turbo, then you're free to use something available. i haven't been able to find pics of the FC17-51-PS1A, but the new cars use G18K-51-SJ3, which looks close enough to work, and can be had everywhere
or tape....

probably should have started with the pics, but....

51-PS2 is FC17-51-PS2A which uses a screw 9973-40-512, and both are available, it goes in the BOTTOM of the rocker. the NA cars have a square plug there.

This is 51-PS1 or FC17-51-PS1A. its NLA in the USA, but looks to be available in Japan still. since the T2 Mazda has had a bunch of cars with rocker moldings,
most of the newer cars use G18K-51-SJ3 which has a different head shape, but look like they might work. i'm not sure what hole size they use, but other than that measurements are easy, and these are available everywhere



plan B is this guy, GE4T-68-865A. fits in a 9mm hole,


Plan C is G043-50-742
