I'd say a realistic maximum is £550-£600 is what to expect, but obviously that depends on what you find when it's opened up. It could well be cheaper. The usual cost for a rebuild on a jc5 is £380-£400 in parts for example, and that includes all seals, 3rd and 4th gears + synchros and the...
Renault have changed the material that the synchro is made from now to prevent further problems. They're only about £30, but I anticipate it will have damaged the dog teeth on the gear and selector hub too if it's been crunching for a while.
You can't get anywhere near the price of a service exchange box if you add it all up with new bearings and seals.
I'd be finding out the lead time for a service exchange box as well tbh. Last time I enquired (a month or so ago) there was no lead time given - as in no stock!

If the front section is joined to the main hoop with the bolted sleeve (most omp cages are like this), I'd just get the front section re made by a reputable company personally. It'll save you the hassle of messing about reshelling the car, and buying a new cage.

@JP83 you don't need longer bolts for the aerocatches mate, you just need to make the hole in the lower skin big enough for you to get a socket on. Aerocatches secured on one skin only is fine, and mine were tested up to 156mph at the Nurburgring. :wink:
Well kw v2's are 336lb fronts and i was quite surprised to read that the bilsteins are 400!
They're not that expensive from Faulkner, so it's not a bad idea tbf mate
