John,
To gain a new registration, the DVLA allows only 1 remanufactured part, this is ususally the engine.

Where all the parts of a vehicle are supplied new by the manufacturer. Subject to the provision of satisfactory receipts and a Certificate of Newness these vehicles will be registered under a current registration mark.

Kit cars which been built using not more than one reconditioned component will also be registered under a current mark. This is subject to the provision of satisfactory evidence that the component has been reconditioned to an "as new" standard. An ESVA/SVA/MSVA test will be required.

Be careful on the difference between reconditioned and remanufactured though... best check with DVLA for their view (in writing).

However, categorically speaking, a manufacturer can supply you with a kit that has all new parts, complete with a certificate of newness, if you know what I mean [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

However, on the box front I almost forgot. You can also use a RBT 6 spd. JimmyMac here on the forum has one for his MDA and got it at a very reasonable price.
