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.
Lynn E. Hanover
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
Look in your "Racing Beat" tech manual, and you will see numerious parts listed for MFR.
Royce
Are you sure it is not MMS?

Engine -Internal
Peripheral Intake Port
Rotor Housings*
We offer five different types of Peripheral Intake Port Rotor Housings: four 13B models and one 12A model. The 12A model and
one of the 13B
models are Mazda Factory Race (MFR) housings.
Because the MFR housing is relatively expensive we developed our own 13B Peripheral Port Housings -equal in performance to
the MFR housing,
but at a substantally lower price. Our Racing Beat modified housing has not been approved by some sancting bodies, such as
SCCA, while both
MFR housings have been approved.
Both the 12A and 13B MFR housings are designed to mount a MFR Peripheral Intake Manifold. A special Mazda O-ring is required
to seal the
manifold to this housing. Note that the 12A and 13B MFR housings have an exhaust stud pattern that is much different from
stock.
We offer spe------- bla, bla, bla.

Hey Guys,
lol, they are one and the same. "Mazda Motor Sports" is probably the DBA(Doing Business As) for there business side in order to
sell parts to the racers.
Anyway Paul or anybody else on this list, That is the hot ticket to get the hard to find parts. Lynn is also correct. I know
this is the standard sayingto all of us but it must be repeated.
Please do no breath a word about airplane to them! ;-)
With there catalog, you will also find most of the tips that are provided from the Racing Beat Catalog. I am not sure who's was
first but it is repeated. The other thing is you also might get some other ideas for parts available outside this company that
you will find to be satisfactory for racing application or ours. Example, Fluidyne Heat exchangers and such.
