My Nova Rebuild Thread...

Good news buddy glad to hear she's road legal at last!

Thanks for the comments guys.

New updated V5 arrived today.

Had a nice run out in it yesterday.

Weeping oil from somewhere so just ordered an 8v baffle plate. (any gen on the tab bending mod thats needed) Job for this week. And filter change.

Also leaking gearbox oil lol but thats my own stupid impatiance!! Forgot to put the bung back in after adjusting the linkage.

Done 4 of them, never bent a tab yet.

Glad its all ok and you can drive it...

Sometimes the tabs catch arp's

dont forget the 8v bolts aswell pete

You can use the 8v bolts, or two washers per bolt worked quite well for me..

No, i know why you have too. But i've never had to bend one, nor out of the people i know who have fitted them have had to either.(gm or non gm)

And you want m6x20 bolts.(correct size) If you dont use the 8v ones.

The 8v bolts for what they cost,look prettier and are clean.But then im just a bummer like that lol
