Hey, anyone ever fit a nova pedal box? Much work in it? I'm looking at a pedal box that's specifically for a nova so just bolts onto the floor but what I'm wandering is is there much or any fabrication required to fit the master cylinders ect?? Thanks

Sounds like you are looking at either a OBP or Compbrake floor mounted pedal box, personally they are poorly made and it wouldn't be my first choice.

The Hockly setup using either Girling or AP cylinders would be my choice, it's designed to work reliably and it does just that, another option is to modify a Corsa setup to fit which loses the cross bar which allegedly improves pedal feel, either way I would avoid any pedal boxes that are too cheap, they are unfortunately not all that good

As above, look at kit car ones if your in more of a budget as they're universal fit

Yeah it's an obp one I was looking at, its 550 gbp so I wouldn't call it cheap �� ha ha I just thought seeing as it was pricey it must be of good quality........

At that price I'd not even consider an obp, for that money you could get yourself a nice slab of Tilton or Wilwood goodness

I agree absolutely - have a look at the Tilton range on offer from 'Competition Supplies' (based at Silverstone).

I've got the OBP one and although it looks nice, I agree it could be better, but it's not terrible.

Despite advertisments it certainly wont just "bolt in" my car, I'm gonna need to weld some plates in the floor to mount it to.

Will be fitting it next week as soon as Donny is finished with this Saturday, will get as many pics as I can in my WIP.

Personally I would just got the Hockly setup if that's your budget.

If you definitely want a floor mounted then I agree a Tilton is the better option, However a 600 series with 3 cylinders and a bias adjuster is a fair bit of cash, we've fitted a fair few now and they are a very well made unit.
