    Default *HOW TO* Convert Nova Rear Mount for XE/LET Conversion

    Thought I'd post this if its of help to anyone..

    Tools Needed - Grinder & file


    So here's one mount...


    With one of the spacers lined up you can see which bit needs notching out...




    Marked out then in with grinder...





    Do the same on the other side and a little bit of finishing and it all fits together nicely...






    Its also a good idea to weld in an extra plate across the top of the mount (making sure you check for clearance) as the sri/gte/gsi mounts had this...




    The spacer kit itself can be obtained from wwww.chrisastleymotorsport.co.uk

    Probably worth pointing out that the bolts should have washers with tabs that bend to stop the bolt working loose.
    I missed these out on my 2nd conversion and the bolts came loose and sheered off!

    You can just make them out in this pic:
