REFLECTOR: Seat recline

[Alex Balic]

Hi Chris-

I am pretty sure that the Mazda seats have the locking hinge on only one
side as well- maybe they are a bit stiffer than the Velo seats- I have not
yet installed them, but those that have could speak out and let us know if
there is appreciable flex in the system.

Alex/All,

 

Are you planning to put one on each side of each seat?  I bought one of the
Mazda hinges several months ago (sans cover) but have not installed it since
I too an concerned about the flex of having one on only one side and nothing
to support the right side of the seat.  With my cut down keel and seats
moved in a bit, away from the door, I think I have enough room for a Mazda
hinge (to go with my Mazda engine ;-)) on the left side, but likely not on
the inner side by the keel

 

Just "a wondering"

Thanks Jack-

My other option was to have some upholstered ones made, but I think that the
OEM looks a lot better- I appreciate your assistance on the location!

Hi Alex,

 

The covers are REALLY hard to find. In an indirect way I got them from
Mazda. The cover

is actually a three part system top cover, bottom cover, and handle. Each
one has its own part number

after several attempts, I figured out the part numbers to look for. 

 

So I googled the part numbers and found them at different places. One place
carried the bottom cover and handle, but not

the top. The other place carried the top cover, but not the bottoms. So I
had to do two orders

at two different places. Extra shipping costs, but I really wanted new
covers. 

 

Mazda dealers don't stock them, and can't order them, so you have to find
someone that still has them.

 

 

Part numbers:

 

NA01-88-036-00         Cover RT, ST

NA01-88-086-00         Cover LT, ST

 

NA01-88-031A-00        Cover RT

NA01-88-081A-00        Cover LT

 

NA01-88-034-00        Knob RT

NA01-88-084-00        Knob LT

 

 

The two places I found this stuff was:

Hi Jack-

I have the hinges also- got them for just 60/pair on ebay, but I didn't find
the covers- did you get them new from Mazda?

By the way, for anyone looking to go down this road. Here is a pic of the
new hinge cover:

 

2Hinges + 2covers + shipping =  ~$130
