Where can you buy these suckers.... no parts stores have them around me.

I just need the lower drivers side bolt, the long one under the starter. I think it's like 3 inches or so.

 

I got one of those at Ace Hardware.

 

Call Ray and get the correct flanged bolt.

If you can't get one from MAZDA or a used one, I've also had great luck in getting some metric bolts through my local WESTLAKE-ACE.
They once even special ordered a couple of long stainless metric hex-head socket bolts for me from their supplier. Just be sure to get the proper length and grade. You wouldn't want it too long either.

 

Ray has them. I oredered the complete set for about $25 or so.

 

no thanks, I prefer my bolts without "flanges"

 

I have a BOX full of OEm trans to motor bolts

 

Mazdatrix has them as well

 

Then you do not know bolts....if you install a bolt without a flange or a washer to back it up then the head will eat into the soft metal of the transmission housing, and the load is not distributed well. Thus the reason why Mazda OEM bolts are flanged.

Go to ACE and get a crappy bolt and find out.
