I got my one from drift works, different years of RX7\'s have a different boss so order one for an FC and you should have no problems
Cheers

Might want to post up the link, the FC specific ones seem quite hard to find sometimes as they don\'t seem to be the standard fitment

I will be interested to see if it does, an MX5 boss isn\'t the same as an FC boss, check the fitments on the driftwork site:

Its why I havn\'t bought one off ebay yet as the FC is quite a specific fit, think the FBs are the same as the MX5 though.

will do, if not he will be getting it back... imagine it will tho if hes saying it fits mk1 mk2 rx7 but not an fd... considering how un popular our cars are

Not unpopular, just uncommon, when people think of an RX7 they think of an FD, even though the FCs have stronger OEM drivetrains and have bigger popups :D

going by that link you put up and a quick bit of research the mx5 ones are for a mk1 only... also noticed theres a boy at the bottom of the page asking for a mk2 mx5 1 and they say they done do it, slight difference in part numbers between mx5-rx7 ones could probebly be the difference in depth as they varie.... guessin the one on ebay has been tweeked to fit both
