I think I grabbed a few bits from black dragon before they closed their doors. I think Thomas on here posted he found them from the original manufacturer in Thailand or something.
Otherwise try a mazda dealer? Sorry not much help

After 240 miles on Saturday for a 7s day drive I can say the door seals made it much quieter.
One thing I’ve noticed is that my car bucks and jerks a bit off throttle at low speeds, It may have gotten worse since removing air pump, control valve and thermal reactor for normal tube header. Is there a fix for this, or might I have an issue with something else like dizzy advance or throttle damper/dashpot?

James mine is the same on slowing down, anything below 2k RPM. Tried to get rid by by changing the Rich solenoid on back of Nikki, adjusting mixture but to no avail, the 2 S2s I had never did it, but they both had their Air pumps

Mine does it too James. Before and after removing the AP gear.
Is it possibly drivetrain related, maybe worn UV joint?

Just remembered it did not do it with the SUs fitted.

Mine did that when I removed the air pump and the thermal reactor, and it is now worse since I have a Weber... I just live with it.

I don't think it's drivetrain related, it stops if you push the clutch in, I think it's engine related. Interesting point that the SUs don't do it, I think my Black car when it had the nikki, no air pump etc also did it, but then the weber IDA does not. It's possible the white car did it before with the air pump still there but I noticed it more the other day and wondered if it was related to removing those things.
I can't help but think there will be a way to make it stop though.
