i have just done this after reading they fit.
i used a corsa sri tank
my nova was a carb model

you will need to make some longer straps to hold the tank as the corsa has different mounting points for the tank straps,
the filler pipe is on the rear of the corsa tank and the nova filler is side mounted (thats why the corsa has the filler cap in the rear part of the quater panel)
and there isn't room to run a pipe around the tank to meet up with the standard nova filler (ive relocated my filler in the spare wheel well for now)
hope that helps

so in other words, you can make one fit but it isn't a straight swap.
