i am just curious to see if there are any standard cars that have these and if they would fit and run in a nova to save me getting one made specially.

thanks for looking

Most Jap stuff has the inlet as part of the rad, nissans in particular, micra's and almera's may have a comparable size, but iirc they are not self bleeding like vauxhalls are and imo its a poo system so why would you want to use one?

euro and shaved engine bay will have nothing but engine in and if i can get a rad with built in header then i wont need a header tank in bay and thats the last thing i need to get rid of in the bay.

thanks btw:thumb:

Mk1 golf driver has the build in header however its a small rad but you can split it apart and fit that onto a larger vw rad!

Newish Punto rads have built in tanks. And might be of similar size to Nova ones.
