Finally Joined the "Nova Toolkit Club"

[Royston]

After a very long time I have finally got my hands on an original toolkit:d

My SR when I bought along time ago came with only the bracket, I didn't actually know what was suppose to fit in there:confused:

To date this is the only one I have seen in the flesh, so to speak, until now I'd only seen photo's

So at last here it is

Guy I bought it off said it was out of his '86 SR, it will soon be in my SR:d

I was just wondering if many people have them or had them originally in there cars?

[Plug]

ive bought a few mk1 novas now and im yet to see one in the flesh,

Good buy though :thumb:

[steviegsi]

Where does it stay in the car? Never seen one before.

[mowgli]

but will you dare to use it?

i have to say, my trusty old gm double ended screwdriver gets a ton of use.

Probably Notlol



It fits inside the boot, on the RH panel, just forward of the rear lamp access;)

And you didn't give it to me either:mad:.......








lol

[dannymcc]

Were these only fitted to the early MK1's?

[Southie]

Royston, I would of gladly give you the set tbh cause it's since been used, snapped, abused and binned :cry:

[Royston]

Were these only fitted to the early MK1's?

To my knowledge yes........ but not all of them...

[Andy]

Are these worth some money like?

[Mike]

Are these worth some money like?

Edit: eBay completed listings says yes they are!

[Stuart]

[Lewis.]

[bazil]

Royston can you stick up a picture of the bracket please,

Good find on the kit :)

[opelman]

is that not a mk1 astra gte/sr toolkit, if not there the exact same and have the same bracket too.

[Novasport]

Welcome to the club Royston lol

BTW, there are indents on the inner quarter upright & trim panel to show where the screws go :)

Here is mine fitted to the Sport, it was an unused one I got on Ebay for £20 BIN....

Came out of an A reg SR which I subsequently bought a couple of years back.

Mk1 Astra tool kits are different as they are deeper...

[Mazz]

So it you who bought it off eBay then? wondered who did

[wwmnw]

Was expecting to see a portable welder tbh

[Royston]

Yes it was I:roll:

[Mazz]

First one i've seen for a Nova, tbh i assumed the seller got it wrong and it was actually a mk1 Astra kit!

[D7AKE]

I have the same tools in my MK1, but its in a brown leathette case with a buckle, I assumed this was original but it may well not be...

[grooge]

got one here aswell, came in my b reg sr and i kept it when i scrapped it.

[Royston]

Well finally got round to fitting it this evening:d

Someone asked for a photo of the bracket

Ironically I wanted to use the toolkit to fit the bracket, but the screwdriver wouldn't fit the screwslollollol, just had to use a Snap On one instead:roll:
