NA CAS O-ring - Perth Freebie

Hey guys,

I replaced all my top end oil gaskets in my NB8 and thought there was a CAS at the back of the rocker cover but seems the NB8 has an optical at the front.
So now I have a high-temp rubber o-ring that replaces the factory unit which apparently goes hard and brittle (and why i wanted to replace it).

Mazda said they didnt sell the o-ring by itself and if you wanted it you would have to buy the whole CAS for ~$200
I got this seal from Trans Seals and it cost me $5.

For NA6:

For NA8:

If someone is after one of these seals let me know and you can have it.
I am in Perth.

Cheers,
Dale

I was hoping someone from Perth would take it as i dont really want to pay shipping on top of giving something away.

If nobody from Perth wants it in the next week or so its yours.

Odd.

My mazda spare parts dealer here had plenty of cas o-rings.

You can check my build thread and have a look.

Part number is 9954-10-3801.

Yeah I rang Melville Mazda and they had no listing. They then rand their head office or something and still couldnt find a listing.
This could have been that they were looking against the parts for my 2000 NB8A...

Regardless I have one now but dont need it so its up for grabs, anyone from Perth want it or it is off to spikes.
