Lovly build.where do you plan mounting the gear lever?.vec cables are a little bit too long for nova.
Vec c cables work fine pal I have them in mine .
Ive got them in my own too but just feel if they were few inchs shorter if would sit nicer.have you any pics or links to your own?.
Hiya mate ill be making a mount that makes the gear lever tallerQuote:

I'm thinking of doing the same, should take some length from the cables too.
Well the wiring is slowly getting there thankfully its not a road car so minimal wires needed i even made myself a little dash not the best but it will hold the ecu and a few other bitshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8414255db9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...09222d5ae3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a24140e851.jpg

Dash looks the job.
Well the wiring is done its not alot to look at as you dont need much in a hillclimb car the engine bay wiring needs some tidying but it all works so im a happy bunnyhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...17dd29bc97.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3d652a2cfd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...624ad3b1f7.jpg

Congrats on the little one.
Think the bonnet was the right move, looks much better, as do the decals.
The Windscreen isn't hard coated is it? Will you be having a wiper fitted?
Hi mate yes it is hardcoated so the wiper doesnt scratch it its not formed like many tell you that you need i spoke to tony at acwplastics about it he said there is no point in it as the nova rubbers will shape it which it has done also his son runs one in his nova and has done for many years so instead of being over priced by certain companys i asked he was the cheapest with most knowledge hes quite happy to talk through things with you pluss i couldntbsay no for £190 plus the vat [emoji41]Quote:

I have one in mine (5mm). Mine is Marguard coated and can confirm it doesn’t scratch.
Depending on how fast you will go you might want to put a brace up the middle of it. Mine pushes into the car at about 120mph and then the wiper won’t clear it if wet.
Its for hillclimbs not sure i would hit 120 but worth thinking about cheers buddyQuote:
