I have looked through the parts fiche and cannot find the bolt listed with the cooling system, the alternator, or the engine (it runs through all three). I don't know where the alternator strap (the black metal thing that the alternator adjustment bolts connect to) would be located in the fiche. I can find the part in the service manual, but of course there is no part number. If I can't find the part number, I seriously doubt some guy in mazda parts who does not know the car, with the same diagrams I already looked at, will be any help.

Has anyone bought this part before? Do you know the part number? Do you know how to get one? Any help would be greatly appreciated because this is the cause of my coolant leak. My car didn't have that bolt :-(

 

no brainer - call ray @ malloy mazda 1-888-53-3400

 

oops 1-888-533-3400

 

I assume that you are ray and you know the part number? Where is malloy located?

 

Does anyone have any information on this bolt?

 

Bolt, flange. Partnumber: N3A1-18-397

There you go!

Ask to connected to Mazda Parts, Ray Crowe... He's the ONLY one you'd want to speak to... Great guy and he knows the REX

 

Should be on the microfilm. I would just call Mazda and let them look it up for you

 

Found it just before your post with the part number

Thanks for all the help everyone! It fixed my leak but also led me to figure out that there is an additional leak. Such is life with an FD.
