What kind of used parts would you need? I have some RX-2 **** packed up in boxes. Some of it may be new such as brake pads and the like.

Custom Spares in NY might still have some Konis available for the front. They WERE pretty reasonably priced a couple of years ago. Good luck finding ANYTHING for the rear. I have a pretty nice hood I could sell if anyone is looking. -WG

I need the following if Felix or anyone else might have them:
clutch master cylinder - complete
brake and clutch pedal pads
MT shifter boot and console section
turn signal relay
blower ducts (by windshield)
license plate light assemblies
floor mats

Everything else is in great shape, but I'm doing an AT to MT conversion and have some parts to find still . . .

Damn I had all that stuff but gave it away with my '71. You might actually try Mazda. As impossible as it may sound, I was actually able to find a brand new clutch master cylinder for my '71. It was over $100 but worth it in the long run.

I have the boot, what do you mean by console section?

I also have a rear license plate holder with lights. I believe I have the blinker relay and blower ducts too.

Console section - I don't know if the MT console for an RX-2 is different compared to the AT console. There is of course the AT selector piece with the backlight and so on. I don't know if the same console piece is used with just the rubber boot for the MT or if it is somewhat different.

Let me know how much you would sell the shifter boot, license plate lights, turn signal relay and blower ducts for. By ducts are almost completely dissolved and they barely defrost the windshield in the winter time . . . good thing I don't drive it in the snow unless I have to.

Anyhow PM me with the details on what you want to sell that stuff for.

thanks
Dave

parts

Check out some of the links on my website. I have links to several Australian shops that have parts avail for the old mazdas. You have to excuse my site though as it has been off line for awhile and needs some work as there are some dead links on the site. The address should be rotarymazda.com however its not back up that address yet, but here is the temporary address. I have had good luck buying parts for my rx3 from Aus.

Hi JOhn

thanks. we've actually chatted a few times - you've got a pic of my RX-2 up on your site (the yellow 100% stock one).

I'll check out those links and see what I can find. If you've got anything leftover for a 2, lemme know.

thanks

Talking I remember

Yeah, I remember you. The one with the clean yellow stock rx-2! Email me rotaryrevn@charter.net and I will tell you about my down low spot for old school parts...not on my site. (secret squirel stuff)! I havent had too much time to surf the net in the last year but this rotary club has a great forum going. I can't wait to find the time to do some serious work to my website.

John

I am not 100 percent sure, but I remember someone telling me that there was turn signal relays can be found by ordering at a NAPA or pep boys.
