nope nope nope. You have 97 US mazda spindles, which are ford ranger. The 97 AU Mazda is a Bravo, still made by mazda. Completely and totally different trucks. The AU mazda is still 6 lug even.

Have no idea who makes drop spindles for 96+ Mazda AU trucks. Just dont want you to buy something that has no possibility of fitting.

oops sorry, I confused you too because over there the ford ranger IS a mazda. lol.

Look at it this way. They made a B series mazda that was made by mazda and sold in the US and AU from 86-93. Then in 94, it was too expensive to federalize a bunch of trucks for sale here, so they rebadged US made ford rangers (I beam front suspensions, ford 2.3 and 3.0 motors) as mazdas. As far as I know, these trucks werent widely sold in AU, but I could be wrong. What I am NOT wront about is, the spindles Sean has listed are for Ford rangers with I beam suspension. They did NOT just put six lug hubs on them and sell them in AU. THe Mazda Bravo was the same as the US 86-93 trucks all the way through 1995 in AU. In 96 they facelifted the AU trucks, I dont know if the front suspensions are the same.

Order what you want. If you are sure the I beam US made ford spindles will work on your japanese made bravo, then order them. I predict you will be paying a very expensive return shipping charge. Totally different trucks.

If your front suspension is the same as the 86-93 mazda trucks in AU, then you need the AIM spindles. I have a set and they stick the wheel out an inch further, and AIM sucks, and you'll pay through the nose for shipping. But they are the only supplier for 86-93 spindles.
