Rover V8/ Borg Warner 35 to RX8 5 speed adapter RX8046
This adapter plate has been designed to bolt to an RX8 5 speed box ONLY to the bellhousing of a borg warner 35. It has been designed to work with a rover V8 bellhousing but it will work with other BW35 equiped engines. The adapter has been designed using CMM measuring equipement as used in the aircraft industry. Drawn up in cad, 3D printed to check the fitment and now we are ready to take pre production orders. We are aiming for the end of February to have a final product (hopefully the customer will have the product by then). The kit is designed to be a bolt on option with a built in concentric clutch slave cylinder, some minimal modifications will be needed. You will use the original rover V8 flywheel, clutch pressure plate and starter motor. You can use the SD1 clutch friction plate it has the same 23 spline as the mazda rx8 gearbox. . No need for expensive cutom flywheels and clutch set ups. The distance from the bellhousing mounting face to the center of the gearstick is 745mm. No need to cut bellhousings in half and tig welding them together any more. The gearbox and bellhousing is not included it just shows how the adapter plates works. Included in the kit price is.
