Hi Barry this might solve your problem, it looks like a bolt on part, Mike

Thanks Lauren, You've reminded me why I didn't put the old steering stop on when I was working on the front suspension ... I realised I needed to...

Hi David - welcome to the forum. It looks like a very well engineered set-up you have there, although I hope you weren't planning on wearing that...

I don't think my Nova had steering stops either, although it has been nearly 31 years now so my memory is a bit hazy. What I do recall is that...

Hi Barry, Looking at the photo of your chassis earler in your thread it's clear you don't have a steering stop fitted. I assume when you're on...

Looks to be a well-spec'd car - very nice

Hello a few more pictures of my nova. The progress seems slow but I have spent a lot of time on it. The next thing is the wiring loom. The last...

Well done Martha & James, Sarah would have been very proud of you both

You're both absolutely mad James & Martha! :facepalm: There must be an more comfortable way to raise funds for the Hospice? However, given the big...

A gazillion years ago (~1982) at a show called VW Action, I saw a superbly built blue Nova, with an Autocavan 2.2 engine, Reg No. WRY1, I wondered...

Hi WryOne, Not seen you before on the Forum. .... Welcome! :thumbup: It would be good to hear about (and see photos of) your Nova. 23 years is...

First and only Wife 23 years and counting, first and only Nova 41 years and counting! Hello!

Welcome to the forum :thumbup:

Hi David - welcome to the forum. Why not start a thread about your car's story? We all like to read about other projects on the go.

You've just got to keep at it, otherwise the longer you leave it the harder it is to start again

Hi David, welcome to the forum, I think we have all fallen in that trap of Ill have it done in a year. Everything takes so much longer than...
