Page J1-9 of the fsm shows the assembly but it's all listed under the name "transmission mount" and not individually named/numbered.
You can see what it looks like though.

here is the FSM pic. keep in mind that the rubber bit, 39-340 is the same S4 and S5, but the other bits are not.

39-410 is S4 or S5, and then 39-380 is S4 NA, S4 T2 or S5 na or S5 T2

Are you installing a manual rack or just depowering the rack?

There are several write ups on properly converting a power rack to manual, I've done it twice and it's not hard (assuming you have some tools).

There are three ratios available with the FC racks.
Some power racks are 15:1, some are 17:1 and all manuals are 20:1.
Depending on tire size and intended use, one ratio may suit you better...I prefer the straight manual 20:1 for a street car with a stock diameter steering wheel.

I'm not familiar at all with racks and I'd like a rack that would be good for 🔞 inch rims too...

But I won't be putting power steering back on the car so I'd like to have something that works and will endure.

You have two options:
-Buy a manual rack and bolt it in. Tip: two clamps hold the rack to the subframe. The driver side clamp is the same no matter what rack you use but the passenger side is specific to the rack. If you buy a manual rack, be sure to get the clamp also.

-Depower/convert your rack.
Here's how you do it:
Flyin' Miata : Tech: 1.8 conversion

Landon is somewhere around you isn't he?

I'm not sure who Landon is but I'd definitely get in contact with him if I can.

What's the name of his business?

It's not a business. I think Landon lives in St. Cloud/ Orlando area if we're talking about the same guy. He owns a whole bunch of rx-7s from all generations. It's kinda like a rx7 heaven junkyard you would have to call him. He usually works by appointments. I've spoke with him a few times years ago. Lost his number though....

He's a forum member (Landon 303), not a business, AFAIK.
He does seem to have a whole lotta 7's but I don't know if he parts them or what.
Must be relatively close, certainly worth a pm.

Obviously, there's also our forum sale section and ebay.

Installed

Installed the coilovers and the front end of the car.

Im waiting on fuel rails from my fab guy. Then ill be getting fuel system done.

Ive decided to contact the Delerium Motorsports team to tune the car. My aim is a humble 350whp but will settle for any reliable numbers over 300whp. The turbo is stock and i dont want to ruin anything before i upgrade the turbo..

Anyway im still in search of parts if anyone has any, i need bolts for water pump housing and bolts for the alternator and starter.

Here are some.pics of the car how it sits at the moment. And some.parts
