Hello chaps, running out of ideas here, i'm taking part in the czech wrecks event this year where we're tasked with buying a car for under £100 and getting it to Prague. It kicks off late august and we've bought a Mazda 626 GT from ebay for the princely sum of £68, failed it's MOT miserably and the major parts we need are:

Front offside anti-rollbar linkage.
Rear offside brake calliper
Passenger seatbelt clip.

I had found one on ebay that was being broken down and requested the parts, unfortunately the seller let me down and I had to get my money back, requesting the bits from online parts databases has yielded no luck as they all have reconditioned callipers that are worth more than the car as a whole. All the local scrappies don't have one either as it's quite a rare model. Just wondering if there was anyone out there in Japchat land who knows of a good Jap Breakers that may have one where I could get some scrap parts, as buying new or recon parts is going to involve more money than i'd realistically like to spend.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Is that the 88-92 model with 2.2L Turbo or the older one?

Mazda MX6 GT should have basically the same mechanical bits &pieces if you see any of them, also check out any other similar Mazda vehicles as they often use the same parts for economic reasons.

If you're near the continent they have some in various European countries or if dont mind ebaying internationally these cars are quite common in Australia/NZ/USA.

I dare say you could probably fabricate something if you get desperate though.

Well we managed to find a Rear caliper on ebay yesterday for £11 which was pretty good, the anti-rollbar linkage I am probably going to look for as a pattern part, or see what Mazda will quote me. It's the 1989 2.0 16v DOHC engine.
