Does anyone have a picture of a Nova with a strut brace fitted but also with the standard 'frying-pan' style airfilter fitted

Just needed to confirm that theres a strut-brace that fits whilst still having the original air filter

Could people post up pics please :thumb:

Cheers Vaughan

Hey man,

If it helps I have a K&N bolt on fitted in place of the black dustbin lid / frying pan air filter with a Sparco brace. IIRC the Bolt on is mucho thicker then the OE filter setup.

Look see:

If you look closely there's also about an inch or so gap left. That should be ample space to fit a brace over the standard stuff.

Something tells me the Nova Carb air filters have more room between the firewall and filter than the Nova SPI filters ?

Could someone confirm that for me please

Cheers for the pics/help so far
