Zetec/2.3 Galaxy/Pinto/Crossflow/BDA to MX5 NC N7 5 Speed Gearbox Adaptor plate, Hydraulic Clutch, 105e Anglia Fitment. Drivers side starter fitment.

This adaptor plate will allow you to fit a Mazda MX5 NC N7 5 speed gearbox behind your Zetec, Pinto, or 2,3 Galaxy engine and put the starter motor on the drivers side. This is needed in Anglia 105e's for starter clearance.

The plate is laser cut to ensure accuracy and repeatability so all adaptor plates are manufactured and fit the same.

The top two countersunk holes are used to align the centre line of the adaptor plate to the centre line of the crankshaft. The plate is supplied with the two countersunk M10 screws for this. There are 2 dowels welded into the adaptor plate that then line the gearbox to the crank centreline.

Your gearbox will need notching slightly to clear the nose of the starter you are using.

The gearbox can be used with the standard external slave cylinder and an RX8 bearing, the MX5 bearing cannot be used due to its profile or one of our hydraulic concentric release kits. Cable clutch conversion isn't an option due to the starter position. Click here for the concentric release kit for this adaptor plate.

The starter motor is mounted on the drivers side the same as a standard 105e Anglia and clears the 105e crossmember.

With this adaptor plate on a Zetec the preferred setup for flywheel, starter and clutch is one of the following:

  • 1800 Zetec flywheel drilled for pinto pressure plate and MX5 1.8/2.0 friction plate.
  • Steel lightweight manufactured flywheel with pinto pressure plate and MX5 1.8/2.0 friction plate. 
  • One of our 1.4Kw starters.  Link to top solenoid. Top solenoid must be used when fitting in 105e Anglias for clearance.  Link to bottom solenoid.

Pinto engines use standard flywheels and starters and run a type 9 clutch cover with MX5 NC clutch centre.

The adaptor plate is supplied with all fastenings to bolt the engine to the adaptor plate, the gearbox to the adaptor and the starter to the adaptor plate. See attached drawing for fastener sizes and positions.
