Dan, Please add my thanks for the write-up.
Just to add...as you'd expect, the thrust washer, plate and bearing are also interchangable. In fact the RX8 part numbers NF01-11-D53 (washer); N390-11-D52 (thrust plate) and N3F1-11-D54 (needle bearing) are identical with the exception that the RX7 bearing part number is NF01-11-D54. The only significant difference I could find was price at MAZDAMOTORSPORTS. The RX7 pieces cost about 3 times more. IIRC, ~ $13 vs. $36.00 respectively.
