call Ray at Malloy Mazda - 888-533-3400. Tell him what you need and I bet he can get it for you, and it will be MUCH cheaper than your local dealer. He's the go-to guy for any parts you need.

Have you popped off the steering wheel?

The turn signal switch itself isn't bad, it's the white curved plastic pieces on the wheel itself that are broken (Superglue doesn't work, I tried). Take off the horn cover, remove the wheel, and underneath is the whole turn signal mechanism. When you push it down or up, it clicks into place with those white pieces. But since they're broken, it doesn't stay where you put it.

I pulled the fuse for the hazard lights, and pushed the button for the hazard lights (turning off the turn signals completely so it doesn't keep signaling left) and just used hand signals.

So for the turn signal, unless you've since managed to break it more, those white pieces are the only part you need to replace.

How's the conversion coming along?

everything is coming alright, just stalling for money to finish some motor stuff, i re-did the interior in all black, looks good, old motor and trans are out, i have everything i need minus the fuel system, just waiting on more cash. it should be done mid summer i hope.

sticking with the mazda rear for now, maybe an 8.8 in the future.

i saw the peices i needed on ebay, but i got out bid. its no big deal to get them off a junkyard car, i just wanted some places to look at and price stuff.

rotary- oh yeah, i dont have any parts off of mine i unless you want the stock seats which are red and beat up,
