Help nova strenghening

[woodyjay]

I really need help finding out about shell strengthening, (fitting c20xe) its a mine feild do we need to do it? how far do we go? get a kit? or just stich weld? so many people saying so many diff things and if we do need a kit where the hell do we get one from? tried chris astley not really sure if still trading or not and saying out of stock anyway! any help on this would be welcome thanks peeps!
P.s i know i spelt strengthening wrong on the thread name.

just stitch weld it, worry about strengthening kits when you put a let in it

harry hockley do 2 kits, a fast road one, and a competition one...

as for should you do it, well the shell is at least 20 years old, and you plan to treble the power of the engine..... of course it needs doing...

ring them & ask their installation advice.

Get a kit, stitch weld the whole shell or just the bay.
