With my rear coilovers fitted i've gotta run a 5mm spacer on the drivers side to clear the spring, but no spacer on the pass side and it clears by a good 2mm, quality Novas !!
If your making up your own brake lines then how come you've bought a brake line kit (4 hoses) ? you should've just ran the hoses your making up direct to the calipers. Also did you order all the fittings (ends) seperatly or did you get them to just send you a set of random fittings ?
Good luck with it anyway.

nah mate see dars thread i think it was his one just copied his one but im stuck on the rear calipers

Think you should of sat down and decided were you wanted to route it, that hose for the rear lines seems to be going somewhere random !! i'd of thought that you'd of wanted it pointing down instead of up so you could have it coming thru the bottom of the bulkhead nearer the centre of the car then you could have it running along the exhaust tunnel, then split it in 2 towards the rear of the car.
I've found Banjo type fittings are easier for attatching to the Calipers.

do you know the sizes of them and the bolts aswell cheers fella

If the way you've routed it connects up ok then i wouldn't worry about it, just looked a bit of a long way round to route it to me, sure it'll work fine tho, Think the rear Calipers are M10 x 1.0 ... or are they 3/8 unf ??? hmm ... not a 100% sure tbh !!

looks a great project mate.....

was that an original nova roll cage?????or 1 made 2 suit????

the reason im saying this is because i modified mine 2 suit the nova(it was originally for an opel kadette coupe) and my mounting points on the rear arch werent that far away from where urs are(mine were maybe a wee bit more to the inside of the arch)

i'd mine all nicely painted n'all..and mounted in with almost flush coach bolts

and what happend ?????.......the buggers were scrubbing on my tyres when cornering..so i had 2 take them out

just something 2 bear inb mind mate.......


mine was lowered 60mm and on 16 inch speedlines
