This is the cheapest rx8 box with delivery.

There are others that are cheaper but collection only.

Thanks for that. I see that the adaptor plate is for a 6 speed box and the box is a 5 speed. I had had a trawl of eBay and found several very reasonably priced 5 speed boxes but that 6 speed boxes were about the same price as a type 9. I haven't managed to find out if the 5 and 6 speed boxes are the same so would take the same plate.

Lots to think about. I need to get the chassis started first before buying anything but obviously need to make decisions on running gear which dictate certain parts of the chassis.
