My Nova SRI Turbo - long term project coming to an end!

[andybishop]

So they bolt in? That must space the wheel out a hell of a lot no?

The retaining cap bolts into the existing holes for the dust shield and holds the bearing in place, as the grooves for the clips are machined out. The wheels sit no further out than normal, it was all measured/calculated and machined so.

Made up by Race Engineers who have run Vectra's in several 24 hour races, could of gone all out and adapted the awesome ones they built for their Vectra, but they may of been a bit overkill!!

Ah, very interesting. Good way of doing it too.

Awesome info too, thanks Andy.

Love the bearings what is the actual bearing used ?

Any pics Mart of the hubs without the flange fitted, never seen any like this before? Do they push the wheel further out?

Just sold my RL7's & the lad who bought them is asking about centre caps, do you know where your caps came from or what there of?

Cheers

Hi Martin,
I see your hub questions have already been answered, but the centre caps are Compomotive MO caps - had them powdercoated heavily to drown the logo. However I did get a genuine (but rough) set of RL7 caps from eBay and they are identical just without the embossed logo.

Cheers

many thanks connor

No link for the caps I'm afraid as Compomotive have now gone bust, loads of 2nd hand sets pop up on eBay though and they are all the same size.
Wheel bolts are from here - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/sixonetwoltd/ came as a set that includes lockers too. They were the finishing touch for the wheels.

Stunning!

Last photo is handy to me, My engine is much father back than yours....

I was thinking exactly the same thing Benn!

@Martin Its been a while since I have fitted a Let to a nova and your engine doesn't look like its been moved forward by much - Usually you have to trim the "Turbo" cover - How did you facilitate this? I suppose it comes down to mount choice? Do you run a solid rear mounting?

Great pictures!!!
