Bushings for rear seat back fold down brackets

Anyone know where to get these white plastic bushings? They are on the lower brackets on the rear seat back. Reupholstering my seats and would like to replace them. I’m thinking other 90’s Mazda’s had to have used them.

Have you called Ray Crowe yet? If anyone knows about availability, it would be him.

Barring that, I'd almost suggest someone that does 3d printed parts but those look to be a rubber material - not plastic...

Rear seats only came in Japan so I didn’t try Ray. They’re a plastic bushing. Not rubber.

the Mazda number is B458-88-408 its NLA but it fits the 323/Protege from 1990-2003 and Mx3, in the USA

i would think its a good candidate for 3d printing

Thanks exactly what I was looking for. Do you have any recommendations for 3D printing guys?

Those are printable. Something like ASA, ABS or nylon would work. But getting the print right would take several iterations and probably take most of a day. Considering that they cost less than $2 each, I'd probably buy rather than make.
