Maza 323 1984 stainless door handles

These look very similar to the capri door handles, be nice if the metal part is interchangeable...

I'm pretty sure they'll interchange just fine, I'm using a pair of black ones I got off a early 90's Protege.

Woo hoo... chrome handles here we go.

Does anyone want to go halves in a set of 4 that are on sale on ebay ?

JDM Mazda 323 chrome inner door handles

Edit:: fixed link

[WashiestSnake]

im nearly 100% certain that they fit, I think Russ/CapriTypeR from Roo-Sport sells these as well.
Also the link wont work for me...

My old 87 323 had chrome handles, inside and out.

I couldn't get the link to work either, but I think this is it

The single one is AUD $44  postage for me, whereas the 4 from Japan are $104 AUD with free delivery.

I'm thinking of recovering the gray with black 4d carbon fiber vinyl to fit the black interior of the SE.

Generally https links don't work... so just take out the s and you should be good to go. Thats how I got my avatar to work.

Fixed the link, it's the same as Crispoe posted

I have some carbon fiber looking fabric that I want to use as an insert when I can find some better seats.  Really would like to get that done by springs.

Nice one Jack.

I've got some black air leatherette vinyl I was thinking of using as the roof lining for a black hard top...

Other trim including sun visors and handbrake I'm thinking of recovering with chrome black kangaroo leather.

Went to work on modifying the XR5 seat rails to fit into my XR2...

Step one... Remove XR5 brackets by drilling out metal rivets and whacking off with sledgehammer



Step two... Remove XR2 bottom rails (flat strip of metal with jagged edge) and XR2 brackets



Step three... Build new base frame with XR2 rails, XR2 brackets and flat steel cross members to fit existing seat anchor points in floor.

Discovered I can skip this step, due to issues with position of seat slider and mechanicals on XR5 seats.

Step four... attach XR5 rails to cross members XR2 rails via existing XR5 bracket holes after checking preferred seat position where max slide back position fits into capote.



Still a work in progress...

Step five... bolt new seats into car using existing bolts and anchor points in floor.

[DarkAngel]

Been working on the new seat rails... lots of drilling out old rivets to separate old XR2 rails from seats and taking existing brackets off XR5 seat rails.

Pics updated above...

[DarkAngel]

Put the rails on and test fitted the seats, sliding back and forth nicely... just have to adjust one side by 5mm to get the last bolt hole to line up perfectly.

I found that the rails can fit directly on one another, heaps of nuts, bolts and washers to fit up. Also used a nut width as a spacer between the 2 rails to allow the seat adjuster teeth to work without obstruction.

The other option would be to drill holes for the teeth to bite into the lower track which would lower the seat by one nut thickness... I have a few really tall friends !!!

Updated pics above.

[WashiestSnake]

Good progress, really cool to see a guide on how to install aftermarket seats in these cars!

[DarkAngel]

Thanks, good to know it has been helpful. 

Finally got the last seat bolt in, found it was easier to bolt the back bolts in first and used a 8mm drill bit to widen the bracket holes a bit on the bottom to fit the seat bolts better.

I have added a thread in the photo section here so you guys can see the latest photo's in one place of my Capri 94 SE XR2 turbo...

B6T engine install
