Were to get interior fasteners?
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.)

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

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).

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.

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.
