bolt size?
I cleaning up my 97 Miata, I noticed that two bolts had loosed and fallen
out--one of those holding the sun visor and another holding the plate for the hard top beside the passenger seat. I'd like to replace them, but I don't know the sizes. Can anyone help? Thanks, John 1997 Montego Blue |

this is too funny... because when i got my '95 in january i had the same two
screws missing. on top of that i had to purchase the screws in packages of two but only used one each... i will look this weekend to find them and if it do i will report the sizes monday (if someone else dose not reply sooner). i found them by bringing the original screws to a excellent local hardware store that has a large and highly organized slection of screws...

screw for visor: 10 x 3/4 phillip oval head sheet metal screw
part#81328. screw and washer to replace missing screw from softtop latch. there are three of these screws in that fasten the latch to the soft top frame. 6mm x 16mm phillips pan head machine screw. part number 82066. 3/16 flat washer uss part number 81263. i am not sure if this is the 'plate for the hard top' that you are talking about.... the latch that i am talking about is the same on the soft top and the hard top. these came in 'handi-pack' bags from a better true value store that had a tremendous selection of fasteners. screws are zinc so you may want to spray paint the head black before you install. hope this helps. i have one of each. if you want me to mail them to you contact me directly with your details.

Based on "what used to fall out of my car", I'm guessing he's talking about the torx-drive cap-screw that holds the hook-thingy to the top of the windshield frame, or the similar fastener that holds side-plate-hook for the hardtop just in front of the seat belt towers. I had both of those fall out regularly. After picking those up off the floor and screwing them back in a few times, I applied some of the mild loc-tite, and never had any problems after that. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Yow!
