If anyone would be interested in buying a brand new carbon fibre/kevlar roof for their Nova, I have one available.

Thank-you for the extra info, much appreciated.
Yes, they're allowed for track day use.
I wouldn't bother with Novas though, there's already Magnum Motorsport (St Helens) and PB Fibreglass (Darlington) who can supply most/all of these parts....
Great work on the trailer, and inspiring, thanks.

Nice.
Looks to shift beautifully. I had the Quaife sequential in my Escort Cosworth, 'agricultural' is the only word I can use. To be fair it never broke.
Yes, I’ve done the easy bit by cutting it all out, Empire Racing are now designing and building a front end.
Will be similar to the rear end with double wishbones, CNC alloy uprights, AP Racing...

Still looking!
Any help would be appreciated.
