NB8a Brake rebuild kit

Postby Snowmotion » Sat Apr 01, 2017 10:30 pm

I am looking to rebuild my front brakes on my NB8a.

I can see a many places except in the UK that sell the seal kits for the front brakes.
Can anyone recommend a source in Sydney or on the East coast that these kits can be purchased?

That place in the UK, if you mean MX5parts, got two sets to me in 39 hours, from placing the order to arriving in my letterbox.

That is one option from the UK and they do a good job.
Just would like to source it locally if possible.

Also had a quick look recently, but UK & possibly US seemed the only obvious sources advertising. But a good brake shop might have them - I've use this place SE of Melb for difficult to find brake parts: <http://www.advancedautoparts.com.au/index.html>

I gather this is what you want
Front Caliper Overhaul Kit - Mazda (NAY5-33-26Z)

I would not bother saving $20 for an aftermarket kit.

Available at Amayama Australia warehouse for $56.87 at this point in time.

Thanks for that link. I looked at this today.
I will check with local Mazda parts to see what they charge for this and see how it compares. :)
Hoping it is reasonable.

Well that was a disappointing result from
Mazda. $171 and 4 week wait but please pay up front.
I guess I will get them OS.
