Front seat drivers side bolt

Post by Bongoaza » Tue Dec 07, 2021 10:34 pm

Hi,

I'm hoping for some help. The bolt holding the front drivers seat has worked its way loose and has disappeared so the seat us now loose on the front right side. It's the bolt under the front of the seat and attaches to the top of the footwell. Any idea where I can get a replacement?

Many thanks!

Have a search for "57-05X mazda"

I believe that is the part you require. If you can't find it, pop into a Mazda dealer and they should be able to order it for you.

Not quite sure which of the several bolts your referring to but if its 88-105B in the diagram below;
http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... 03.html#19
then you can look up the part number in the table top left and it gives H26088105
then a Google for the part number gives;
https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100 ... =H26088105
and the first link will sell it to you for a £1 +VAT + postage I guess!

If it is the one I mentioned then one tip for replacing is to use a sash clamp to line the holes up. I spent half an hour the first time trying to get that bolt in as my seat springs out slightly when the bolt is removed.

The sash clamp allows you to line it up perfectly. Once I did that, it bolted in, in seconds.

I use it every time I've taken them out since.

As I recall the four bolts are the same size. Take on of the others out and ask your local engineering company if hey have one.
