The 2 I found recently are sold as 1 was already spoken for months ago and the other one is sold.
Don't know if I can track more down but if you want to be on the"waiting list" please let me know as I will continue to search for them.

has anyone thought about getting these cast so when they run out we still have an option for this gearbox setup?

funny you should say that.... spoke with Rad this morning about it. We will look into it & get some (think 30-50) made & mount the box straight up & down instead of cantered over... BUT ONLY IF WE HAVE ENOUGH INTEREST..... This includes a deposit .

If you're going to go that far, you'd want to make them for wideblocks as well as narrow....that will bugger the price point tho.

If you think that 30odd people will put down a deposit, you are in fantasy land.
A better option might be to make an adapter plate between a sigma borg-warner bellhousing (detachable). This is how the Castlemain Rod Shop do the 4G52/4 to supra conversion. Also opens the options to wide & narrow block, though some customisation would be needed for the hydraulic slave.

Suggest you also consider changing the slave cylinder mounting holes to take the Starion slave cylinder. instead of having to use the RX7 unit.

Let me know if you find another or decide to get bellhousings cast........
It would make life a bit easier and generate a bit more space if my rotary mazda and lancer used the same gearboxes.
