That would be no good to me as I have removed the Nova cross linkage and M/C, and have fitted the Corsa one - which need the bonnet modifying to fit anyway so a pedal box on top of the servo would sit even higher i reckon. I will keep an eye out for a proper Corsa pedal box but to be honest its going to be fairly low priority for now...I'd really like to get at least seats or cage bought before Christmas. And storage needs sorting out asap
remember from begining of 2011 or 2012 cant remember :S you cant run vertical bar and you have to use standard handbrake lever and mounting point.Quote:

i run vw back caliper and have to join vw back cables to nova front if that makes sense? mot will be fine as they only check the cable is there and the hydrolic set up will obviously be strong enough. your problem will be some scrutiniers make you take the pin out of you hydrolic bar and check your cables actualy work :s i almost wasnt aloud to run as never been pulled up on it till one rally in north wales. managed to get away with it as my nav put his foor infront of back wheel :) and i pulled like **** well they were pushing
Yeh if you could get me some pictures mate that would be brilliant :thumb: I'm keeping drums though I can't be bothered with the extra hassle and expense of converting to rear discs
Well after some consideration I'm giving up on the "direct-to-box" shifter, I really can't be bothered lol so I have just spent a few quid with McGill Motorsports on the parts for a rose-jointed linkage...just need to find some M10 studding and all the nuts to go with it. I will still fit the Cavalier internal shifter to mate up to this. So hopefully the bits will arrive soon and I can update with what will feel like actual progress!!

Not much of an update but I have been spending money, bought myself a 6mm sump guard
yesterday off a bloke in my motor club. It came with two brackets but I'm not sure how
these attach the guard to the shell...I'm assuming they are for the front mounts. As you can
see there is a nut welded onto the diagonal part of the brackets which a bolt will screw into
through the single holes on the front of the sump guard. Just not sure how they then attach
to the car...any ideas are very welcome :d

Also got myself a freshly powdercoated front strut brace for £20 which will look good in the
engine bay when its finished! If it ever happens lol need the weather to dry up so I can finish
cutting and welding in the engine bay then prepare it for paint. That is all for now, just helps to
keep me motivated if I update this thread!! Other people's comments help motivate me even
more :thumb:
Good to meet you today Rich, you've got yourself a tidy shell there just hope going out in mine spurs you on a bit once the weathers a bit better. :thumb:
Cheers Dave, I've missed being in a Nova :( so was good to get out in yours like, that engine is absolutely bang on :thumb:
I feel really motivated at the minute but not much I can do with this weather!
if you want to do road rallying in that shell you'll have to re fit the fire wall in engine bay. they are really strict about that as i was almost stopped from running as i didnt have the foam bits on the bonnet that seals the fire wall when bonnet is shut. i had to get some off another car befor i was aloud to run.
what if the holes in the bulkhead are plated over?
i dont no. only way to find out is go see a scrut or ask on brf.
looking good mate, how does the corsa servo work? whats need to make it work?
Have a good day at the Christmas stages tomorrow mate, gutted I cannot come along :(
You best not get lost coming here rich otherwise we'll leave you behind! ;)

I drove down to Lincoln this morning to pick up this 6 point cage from Vessey then as soon as I
got home, had a go at trial fitting it so I can mark out where my spreader plates need to go. I'm
pretty sure its a Safety Devices cage but not 100% (I hope it is), its the type that goes through
the dash which means a bit of extra work but not to worry. At least that means the cage can be
fitted and the dash fitted after and removed if necessary when I get to the wiring loom stage.
Its currently covered in stickers so I will be removing these, giving it a sand down and a fresh
lick of paint, staying with black.

As I have a bit of a sticker fetish I bought these a while ago, so once the cage has been re-
painted the Safety Devices stickers will be going along the rear diagonal bars.
Thats it for now until I have got my spreader plates cut and found someone to weld them in for
now. I have a MIG welder but not much experience so I want them doing right lol
progress is good rich. should be looking more like the final product soon :D
Progress is truly crap to be honest lol, the only other thing I have done recently is finish drilling all the spot welds along the exhaust tunnel to remove the top part. You can just about see it in the middle picture...I'm surprised how much moisture was trapped between the two layers, you can see quite a bit of rust on the picture

This morning I have marked out the locations of the spreader plates, then removed the front
hoops, cross bar and door bars and de-stickered them. I rubbed down the cross bar and door
bars and gave them a fresh coat of Matt Black paint.

I got the wire brush on the area around the passenger side B pillar cause it was looking a little
crusty :( I think this may need attending do before attempting to weld the spreader plate in.

While I was at Halfords I got some Hammerite silver hammered effect paint and did my fuel tank
and filler pipe.
Now I need to find someone who can come and weld my spreader plates in :confused:
