Would that not be a 930 Slant?

HI Akila,
this mechanism and motor look exactly like mine. Did you have a chance to find the source for this motor. If you do, please let me know. I am looking for one.
Thanks.

These are the RX-7 Motors. I have not set them up as of yet, but the motors are readily available on Ebay. Let me know if I can assist further.

Akila,
Thanks for response. Do you know which year is this one? I saw many Mazda motor on ebay but they are not exactly the same (the 3 mounting points).
Also, yours look so new. Do you know any place to get it new?
Thanks

Don't know where to get new ones. I had picked up an extra set just in case I need parts. IIRC these are the latest year with the rectangular headlights. I bought a complete assembly of Mazda's, but I forget what it cost.

Do you remember what year is the one on your pics, above?

Dont recall. I will go dig em out later & look for a part #.

Here are a picture of the actual motor from the slant fender. Hope this helps

I have exact same motor, which doesn't work anymore, and I don't know what year it is from.
Thanks Akila.

For some reason I have 87' to 94' in my head.

Akila,
no... umm... I don't know exactly what year but those on ebay posting 86-90 are not the same as this one. The 3 mounting bolts are not mounting to the body but they have arms.

This look like what you are looking for. Click on the small picture.

So it looks like out motors came from the first generation RX-7. The year selected for the ******** website was 1982.

Also, I found out there was a fat & skinny motor. Apparently the ones to use are the skinny ones. 1979-1985

Look like that what it is. Thank you Akila.

It's RX7 from 83 to 85. I ordered and installed it in. The headlight works now.
Thanks Akila, thanks all.

Would you happen to have a wiring diagram of your lights?

My car was premade that way, with the same motor. I didn't change anything, just cut and reconnect exactly how it was before. I didn't even have to do any measurement because all wires are the same collor. Sorry don't know how to help. If you can think of any way I can, let me know.

mazda motors, RX 7 early version. when installing them in a porsche, take care to seal the relays completely with silicone as they are mounted upside down from their original position. Otherwise these relays fill with water, corrode and fail

the swivels/ hinge points need to be lubricated periodically too

TRE, I'll keep that in mind, if & when I ever get around to mounting the Slants.


rnln, Where did you end up buying the motors, price?
