Mazdaspeed Rear Bumper install help

I picked up a used mazdaspeed rear bumper/diffuser, but its missing the 3 green brackets. Unfortunately, the Mazda install paperwork (from DIY section) only calls it out as "bracket A" and "bracket B", making it impossible for the local dealership to find for me.

Any ideas on how to source these parts given they dont appear to have a part #?
Any ideas for a "work around" to these missing parts? (I got the other misc fasteners and dbl sided tape from autozone).

I dont have much knowledge on this exact kit but it seems if you dont have the bracket theres no way you can securely put the rear underspoiler on. If it comes to a last resort just order all the brackets for the underspoiler. Good Luck!

*Dig out this thread*

Hey guys,

i´ve got the same problem ngill33 had:

I managed to get an authentic Mazdaspeed Rear Bumper imported from Japan to Germany. (to get one in Germany is really hard, and drive it street legal even harder)
But those 3 brackets for the middle are missing :/

Is anybody kind enough to lay under his RX-8 and give me the dimensions of those brackets, so i could build them on my own?

Greeting from Germany!

It would probably be easier to bend a few of your own brackets than find them. A friend of mine looked for some MS parts for me from his dealer and couldn't find anything anymore.

@ RX-8inSTL: Yes of course, but the whole installation has to be completed in one day, because you have to cut the OEM Rear Bumper. So if i dont have a fitting bracket my RX-8 isnt streetlegal anymore.

Therfore i asked if somebody just could give me the dimensions of those brackets, the i could bend them a few days before mounting the bumper

In the US there are more RX-8 drivers with the Mazdaspeed kit, so only one has to look under the car and tell me the brecket size
