Cant you just order them from out of the country and have them shipped? Cant imagine cost being too much for international shipping.

even the $125 aftermarket kit at Atkins' ebay store is too high after the difference? the gaskets you may need that aren't in the kit can be cut from a sheet of gasket material and sealed with silicone.

So you do have a Mazda dealer there??? Best thing for you to do is find an international mazda parts shipper. There are always gaskets for sale on EBAY
