what was broken on yours?

Mine worked but the little plastic guide that the cables rode on broke, I can have someone make this piece since, as far as im aware, Mazda does not sell just that one piece, unless im mistaken?



I have seen a writeup for repairing them with bicycle cables when the cables go, but has anyone else had thier plastic guide on the bottom break?

with the vert you have to buy it complete with the motor for $500+ , the coupe you can get without the motor for like $200ish.

I made one for the vert I had years ago. I could do a small batch, but price-wise, I couldnt compete with $125 for 100 of them.
