There is a company called Walden Engineering in Aberdeen (I think). The guy that runs the operation used to work with Bill Blydenstein. He does strengthening kits and all the rally prepping bits you could need. Worthy of note from the Grp A Nova prep manual is the method of stitch welding as opposed to seam welding aswell.
