WTB: This odd part

ranchan02 · 10-03-2008, 09:54 AM

As the title states, I'm looking for the piece below circled in red.

It's a screw that sits in the front of the throttle body, behind the throttle cable. Let me know if any of you have one for sale. Thanks!

Call Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda. It shouldn't be more than a few dollars I wouldn't think. I have seen many FD's with the broken idle screw here lately.

Did that already before posting this on the board. Ray said that piece is part of a set of screws for the TB (not sold individually) and the part was around $200+.

Go to home depot or lowes and find a bolt that works. It doesnt need to be the exact part from mazda. Should be an 8mm headed bolt that will take care of it, I forget the thread pitch though.

yeah I might have one off an FC tb that may work but I would just do that Dave said and go to the hardware store

Yeah I tried going thru the Home Depot direction but the problem is the pitch thread is pretty fine (.5 or .4) so I couldn't find a bolt/screw that is 8mm in that thread pitch.

The box stores suck for metric bolt selection. Try a good mom and pop hardware store. If all else fails find the diameter and pitch and try to find it at mcmaster.com. You might have to buy a qty of 10 at a time but it still won't be that expensive.
