10mm spacer and they should fit Colin, they look nice btw but a bit heavier than the old ones ?

The Nova heads off to Bicester Heritage tomorrow, with a list of welding/fabrication jobs to be done.
I will update as soon as I can.
Dropped the car off on Monday, looking a bit daft on some spacesaver front wheels;

First job was to replace the coolant pipes with something more professional, and a good deal lighter too;

And more lightweight replacement, the exhaust tailpipe has been remade in Titanium;

More to follow as things progress.
Nice work on those hoses and wiggins clamps Colin. I need to do something like that as I have just moved my rad into a similar position.
Looks much better.
Is there any benefit by positioning the radiator like that?
Lots of race cars angle the radiator, so I assume there are cooling and/or aerodynamic benefits.
To to be honest I mainly thought it looked good. And probably gives me more options for placing an intercooler should I be able to afford to go back to the turbo engine.
Lots of other jobs on the car are now finished, I shall be collecting the car on Monday so more photos and information when it’s back at home.
One of the the major jobs still to be sorted is the throttle linkage on the throttle bodies. Anyone who has Jenvey throttle bodies (mine are the SF type), especially on a 16v smallblock, I’d be very keen to see some pictures of what you’ve done with yours. Thanks
It’s mainly for space and reduces the overall height of the rad which helps in some installations.
You could argue its an aerodynamic aid with horizontal fins, but probably not noticeable.
It's back from the fabrication shop;
