1MZ Mk3 - The gift that just KEEPS on giving.

[nads1978]

Ha, yeah. It's just one from my laptop. I'm not near the car at the moment and trying to order parts!
My gearbox is Mk2, but chassis Mk3.

I think you are right from my Gooooogling of images.

Alternative is to take it to someone who makes brake hoses up & get braided one, there's a guy about 5 miles from me that does them

For future reference, in case anyone is searching:

where did you get your MK3 hose from? I couldn't get one anywhere!

I robbed the pics from the internet, I have not got one. I think I need a Mk2 one, which are readily available.

The Mk3 ones are available in the US, although quite expensive $65 + p&p. But, I contacted an ebay seller who is a 'Hel' retailer. He was willing to make me one if I provided him with an original, or the dimensions. His ebay name is daghosesupplies - you could tempt him with future sales from the MR2 communities with group buys etc.

I suspect that HEL simply give you the supplies and away you go, as I've contacted a few suppliers who all drew blanks. I'll hunt the U.S. Guy down, as I need one quick!

I previously dealt directly with HEL who made brake/clutch lines as a group buy on the MLR (Evo forum). They said they would/could make anything with an original as a template & give a good discount, as they can then market it as a product.

Do I need these inserts in the bushes? This is the rear gearbox mount, the front also had something similar. The bushes look okay, I guess this is to stiffen them up.

Required, yes or no?

[Paul Woods]

Yes definitely keep them, although i prefer to replace the whole bush myself, inserts rely on the integrity of the old bush.
