Were can I get interior fasters for the carpet, speakers, ect? They keep breaking when I pull them out. (The fasteners sold at Advance and Autozone don’t fit quite right. Maybe I'm just buying the wrong kind.)

 

ummmmmmmmmmm, you have a mazda, possibly a Mazda dealer?????

 

Thanks. Good idea.

I tried that, but the local dealer will not work on or order parts for an RX7.

 

that sucks, you should complain about it to mazda corporate

i can understand the dealer not working on them if they dont know how, but i dont understand how they could refuse to order the parts for you, it doesnt cost them anything

 

it would make sense but any car over 10 year old and mazda doesn't support them any more. i know i work for a mazda deller. it suck but i've turnd down fds who come for sevice cus if something breaks we might not be able to get parts for it.

 

Parts cars if Mazda doesn't make them anymore.

 

Most of these fasteners are available at your local auto parts store. They are fairly standard. You might have trouble with the colour keyed parts so in that case find a dealer that doesn't suck (and make sure to tell the ones that refuse to order parts for you that you will recommend that none of your friends and family ever purchase a car from them if this is how they treat their customers...you can also call Mazda customer service and complain).

 

Can I complain that they don't have my mounting brackets and that they want 387.50 for each front bumper side aero rubber thingy? Damn discontinuing useless production. Hell, even if it doesn't get me anywhere, it would make me feel better.

 

I have this catalog for a company called "Victoria British LTD". It's like 6 years old but they have a ton of parts like pedal pad covers, interior plastics, panels, fasteners, hoods, just lots of factory replacement parts. I don't know if their even still around or exist though because of how old the catalog is. I'd like to order some of the interior fasteners and pedal coverst though. Does anyone know if their still in business?

 

Yeah, Victoria British is still around. But they are Black Dragon Motorsports now. You can get catalogs from them and they stock most anything for FB's and FC's. There FD selection sucks, but hey 2 out of 3 isn't so bad. And their prices are actually pretty decent. If nothing else then contact Malloy Mazda, they are very RX-7 friendly.

1-800-300-FORD, this is my mazda dealer and they are real good about helping out. Ask for Doug in Mazda parts he is the one I deal with, great guy.

 

Zach, I've been told that Victoria British now Black Dragon Motorsports does not stock any FC Items anymore. Is this not true?

 

A while back I noticed on their site they don't list RX7's as available catalogs or anything. I hope they're still doing it, they were a pretty good company to deal with.

 

I'm pretty sure of this.

 

I last received a Victoria British RX-7 catalog about 3 months ago, so I would assume they are still around.

 

www.blackdragonauto.com is the VB site for RX7's

And as far as the fastners go, you can find some really nice fastners at any hardware store that stocks a good selection of Hillman brand fasteners. Usually True Value stores. They have a specific drawer that says automotive fasteners. Like Aaron said you will have to paint them to the color you need as most of them are black and white. They have worked wonders for my FC strut tower covers and various other items in the car. If you cannot find anything let me know and perhaps I will buy them in bulk and sell them off to anyone who needs them. I am not looking to make a prophit, but I will have to compensate for paypal fee's and time for shipping. (we are talking minor monetary value)

edit* Duplicolor Vinyl spray paint workes great on items like these. I painted my dash black when i changed over my enterior amd it's been 4 years now and the dashboard still looks new. Just wipe the plastic part down with laquer thinner and have at it.
