Wheel arch plastic rivets ?

[jack]

I was looking on e bay this morning for the plastic rivets.
There is a seller in the North who will only post to UK.
Ive tried phoning and e mail, with no responce.
Does any one have a contact ?
Mazda UK is twice the price of e bay !

Hi,

Not sure which particular type of rivet or fastner you need but I replaced some of the fastners in the boot with ones from Halfords - not expensive.

Maybe bringing one in to a good motor factors would source what you need?

+1 on halfords

Got the ones from Halfords last time I was up there,
but they are not the right size for the job. I'm looking for the 9/10 mm
wheel arch cover rivets.

I don't think they are called rivets....
Are you talking about these fastners http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/883

Thanks again Fergus...
1.60 is a bit steep.
I'm trying to find them cheaper, so I can replace them all.

Yeah it's a bit saucy
Give Robert in Swords a call, he may have some as he breaks a 5 every now and again 086 8226506.

I was trying to salvage them while dismantling my mk1, bloody impossible, ended up just bursting them with a chisel..are they meant to be re-cycled???

They can be used over and over yes
You just have to be careful taking them out.

Probably says more about my state of mind while I was dismantling the things
