Hello all,
I need to buy a couple of new door handles for my FD, mine are scratched up.

RHD Japan has these much cheaper then Ray @ Malloy. THey are approx $80 each plus shipping.

My questions are:
1) Is RHD Japan a reputable source for OEM mazda parts?
2) Are door handles the same for RHD/LHD Fd's? I know the drivers side on US Rx7's has some wiring attached to it?? Is that reversed for RHD Rx7's?

 

I've purchased several items from RHDJapan recently and have had no issues with them.

 

I believe only the drivers side handles light up... but I bet most people didn't know either one lit up.

I'd buy from them with confidence.

 

Shipping is more expensive tho.

Have you tried buffing them?

 

You can get metal ones that'll never break.
93-95 Rx7 Aluminum Black Door Handle Set...

RHDJapan is pretty reliable though. I've bought from them and had no issues.

 

1) Yes RHDJapan is safe, I bought from them and they are legit.

2) I'm also interested in the answer to this?

 

Non plastic door handles are the way to go. Ever since I broke one many years ago I keep my plastic ones well lubricated . Though I haven't had any issues since, I firmly believe they will eventually break again. It's just the nature of plastic. It gets brittle over time. So preemptively I think I'll pick up a set of the aluminum ones

Now if Atkins could also make the driver's door switch and glove door handle I'd be golden. For those that don't know those also tend to go...

 

Door handles for RHD and LHD are the same. I bought mine from rhdjapan without any issues. The price is quite reasonable as well.

 

Thanks guys. I'll proceed with the purchase, and report back if I have issues
