Need Help Finding Isloator / Bushing
 

Attachment 751558

These are isolators / bushings that are located in the rear hatch. They mount the OEM rear wiper fluid reservoir to the body. They are no longer sold by Mazda - but I have a sneaky suspicion Mazda may have used these in other makes/models.

I'm also thinking they may be available through other sources, but so far my McMaster-Carr and Grainger searches have left me empty handed.

Anyhow, here are some specs:

ID - 12mm
OD (wide) - 20mm
OD (narrow) - 17mm
Material Thickness - 4mm

If anyone can point me in the right direction - I sure would appreciate it. :icon_tup:

Be creative and engineer your own design from other parts. Visit Home Depot or ACE Hardware and look at all the crap they have.

I need close to 1000 pieces. Not interested in visiting Home Depot or ACE for that type of scale.

My alternative is pulling a mold and injecting my own... ya know, actual engineering.

a 1000 pieces you say? I have a feeling that your are up to something sir :nod:

McMaster Carr ..... I am almost certain you can find what you need there, such as rubber isolator bushings and metal inserts.

I've bought literally, 300 bushings from them... but I think you found the winner. Just ordered another bag of 50. :icon_tup:

Where does it go? Below the reservoir?

The bushing? In the mounting holes...

Ahh, I probably don't look at my reservoir enough to notice they are that big.

Have you look at Ford?
The Probe has very similar parts..
Maybe they have a part # for it

Good call on the Probe! 323, 626, MX-3 & MX-6 were on my hit list at the junkyard. Can't believe I forgot about the Probe.

what are you up to lol

sounds like a water/meth kit using the rear wiper tank.

:squint:

More info soon...
