TN New member! Second car, first FB!

Hey guys! My name is Chandler and I'm from TN.

I just picked up my 2nd car!
It's an 85 RX7 type S with the 12a and a 5spd transmission.

It is my first rotary but one of my buddies has owned a few so he's helping me to get it drive-able! It runs but I can't drive it cause the clutch pedal just drops to the floor.

It needs new rear wheel cylinders, Brake Master Cylinder, Clutch Slave cylinder, and as of yesterday i turned the ignition and the switch is loose (it does nothing, there's no clicks like normal and no power to any accessories when the key is turned) and needs to be replaced (I'm thinking if it's not repairable I will do a HIDDEN push button ignition, etc. In fact, I'm pretty much decided on it since a new one is way too much money) so any help on wiring that up would be much appreciated! And also it needs the two nuts that bolt the exhaust manifold (header?) to the cat back so does anyone know the size and thread pitch, etc?

I have already purchased everything to fix it except for the two exhaust nuts!

Thanks everyone and I look forward to all the rotary adventures!

Welcome to the first gen club. If I had to guess I would say those nuts are M10x1.25, 14mm head. Pretty standard size.
