Removes the balance/transfer bar assembly that runs across the bulkhead, this saves considerable weight and will improve pedal feel due to a more direct action on the Master cylinder.

nice to see some good weight saving going on there. just finished removing all the sound deadening from the floorpan myself - about 5kg saved there i reckon.
Where did you get the harness bar that fits onto your safety devices rollcage? i asked safety devices about extending my cage but he wasnt too helpful.

jamie

I bought a bar from them that they called a dash bar (came with some fittings and stuff) i then trimmed it down to fit across the rear legs. If i did it again i'd just go to a metal stockists and buy some tube of the correct dia and paint it black

Oli mate, Instead of the Nova loosing weight you should go on a diet! Your getting a bit porky now

Good work mate! Keep it up.

Am doing the corsa servo mod too

Unfderstand how to drop that in and mod the brake pedal.

Looks like you have kept the standard nova clutch pedal - was much modding required? Can you post some pics showing the detail of the clutch pedal?

Thanks.

Pilbeam works strut brace :D just finished polishing the endplates and painting the bar, wanted one for ages they're like hens teeth.

2nd hand fibreglass bonnet, a few more kilo's saved



I will be ordering some eccentric top mounts, bias pedal box and SPA dual oil-temp/press gauge this week.

Should be getting the cage welded in later in the week or some time next week, its one thing i haven't learnt to do yet, but i got a mate that can

I'll post some more pics up later in the week when I've actually been to the workshop

p.s went to the workshop the other week and thought i'd start it up seeing as i hadn't for 7 months!!!! connected the battery back up which had been left on the floor, primed the fuel pump and the bad boy fired up first time!!! well happy
