Mazda Bolt Index

OGMB2K

So Mitch here is the idea, we agree on a format, submit them through this post, then it is converted to a more appropriate format / location where they can be searched by section, etc ... Here are my samples, I'm creating my own index to keep track as I take this beast apart so I do not lose track of what I have to buy .. lol
Me as a source should not be 100% trusted as I am finding out that several parts, like my transmission cross-brace does not even have the same size bolt in the corresponding holes ... so trust but verify .. lol

And no I will not clan the bolts before I document them, it'll take way to long .. lol

I have 50-60 plastic parts organizing storage compartment trays with the lids attached........when I am taking apart anything on a vehicle, I put the parts in these and drop a small piece of paper with a description of the part into the "bin" with the parts........or use masking tape.

This is a pic from years ago.......I have many more of these organiser trays.......the larger parts are stored in Rubbermaid Totes with lids.

I use plastic baggies and write on them

These are spare parts that I am saving, so the trays are a more permanent method of saving them, and organizing the parts for the ease of looking for a certain part in the future. I am in those parts trays several times a week it seems!

Only in my engines that I am saving. Looks like Jim Ellis Mazda has them or can get them. I posted the part number in your thread on the subject.

Axel-Breaker-Earl no they can't I've done ask and they told me they couldn't get anymore so I'm screwed I got a $1000 motor setting here and a bolt walked off but thanks

Mrcrowley Take one that you have and go to a machine shop near by and see if they have one.

That's a great idea Mitch!

Mrcrowley

MazdaMitch do you think these would be the same?

Mrcrowley

Hopefully I found a set I found those but I found a guy that's supposed to take some out of a motor and send me we will see?

MazdaMitch

Mrcrowley There have been a lot of facebook parts group pages that are scammers.
Post a direct link so we can check it out.

Would it be possible to find a similar bolt in size / length / strength and simply redo the threading with a good tap/die set?

Axel-Breaker-Earl

Why??? Just buy a $5 MAZDA brand new head bolt!

MazdaMitch

Just order it online here and if its not available, they will email you back and say so and not charge you.

If you dont want to do that, I can order it for you and charge you $50 for the bolt.
