snips...

 I don't use those hollow corner seals with the rubber plugs. They are made of
 powdered iron, and break very easily, as many have discovered.

What do you use for the corner seals Lynn? Jim Mosure just broke one.

Paul Lamar

 Hey Paul, Lynn is using solid corner seals. They work much better then the 2 piece with the rubber button. I have
 replaced a
 number or melted rubber buttons in my day. The solid ones work so much better. They are available from RacingBeat or
 (MFR) Mazda
 Factory Race. The Mazda part number for it is 1011-11-321. Use those in conjunction with the corner seals springs from a
 93-95
 13B TT. Spring part number is NF01-11-C24. Don't forget to order quantity (12). MFR is located close to you in Irvine and
 thats
 where I usually pick up the parts from.

Thanks for the info Doug. Are you listening Jim?
MFR? That is a new one on me. Is that an arm of Mazda Racing. Don't you have
to be a SCCA racer to get parts from them?

Paul Lamar

Paul, you've never heard of MFR, Mazda Factory Racing?
That is at least the racing parts arm, if not the whole racing arm.
Royce

New one on me. I thought they went by a different name.

Paul Lamar

Paul, and all on the list, Royce is correct. It is the arm and the whole body...LOL.
They say that they only provide to racers but on numerous occasions I just told them that it has been very difficult to get
parts from other suppliers and they usually  dont have a problem with selling them to you. They encourage you to buy from the
dealer but when it comes to race parts they are great.
Please be very conginial when talking to them as I would hate to loose the supply line but I supplied the part numbers for you
so if you wanted you could get them from a dealer as well. It just takes a little longer.You can also ask for a catalog from
MFR. It will provide every racing part number for everything bumper to bumper.
The last catalog I got from them was a 1997 version, I think that is the latest version. Part numbers remain the same to this
date but there are no prices.
Here is there address and phone number.

Ah Ha that is the name I know them by.
