WTB: Front bumper reinforcement brackets

RETed · 07-20-2015, 03:37 AM

Crap, thought I had them still on, but I got rid of them. :P

I need these brackets to bolt on the fiberglass reinforcement bar that runs across the front and under the front bumper skin...
There's two of them - one on each side.

Long shot, but if you have those stupid foam inserts from the front bumper, I can do a package deal.

I don't mind surface rust, but if there are HOLES through them, forget it.
Having all the fasteners is a big plus...

Basically, name your price.
I'm in Hawaii, so I request shipping through US Postal, please.

Thanx!

Is this what you are talking about Ted?

I actually needs those side ones, since my originals snapped some of the studs off, but you can get them on eBay for $40 for a pair brand new...

I need the bolt on brackets more towards the center...

See pics...

Oh the Cups.. I don't have those...

Looks like RIGHT side is still available...
LEFT side shows "NLA."

One of the Jim Ellis websites shows the LEFT side still available.
I just put in the order, so we'll see if they got it in stock.
$60 each side is not bad...

Try placing some calls to the Mazda-specific used parts shops (Rhineharts, MazMart, etc.). MazMart had the rear reinforcement brackets I was looking for at a reasonable price.

Hey, glad to see you were able to track them down!

I'm on the other end of the car!

I don't want to get too much into it.
If it comes down to it, I can always fab something up.
That MIG welder is going to come in handy!

Sadly it is getting harder to get new parts for these cars. But I guess after 30 years one can't complain too much.
