In August 2017, we reported on Mazda’s restoration program for the Miata. Unfortunately, the program was only in Japan. Now, Mazda North America has announced a reproduction parts program for first-gen Miatas with a catalog of more than 1,100 “new and legacy parts,” the company said.
Mazda said it consulted shops and Miata clubs “to better understand which restoration parts were needed most. With the help of many suppliers, all parts will be remanufactured in Japan using modern methods and materials, while maintaining the look and feel of that era,” the company said.
Mazda cited a couple of examples included in the list, such as a newly developed fabric soft top using the same rear screen material from the original version; Enkei Wheels is reproducing a lighter aluminum wheel designed like the original. “Essential in the maintenance of almost any classic Miata, many moving parts—from the roller for the side windows to the brake piston caliper—that are likely in need of replacement will now be offered,” Mazda said, adding that each piece has been redeveloped using modern materials and build techniques while looking period correct.
The complete parts list, all 42 pages, is here. Have at it!
