clever way of creating something flat to take the grommet on an otherwise contoured section of the bulkhead

First and only wife 18 years, Nova 32 years ;)

I think Peter’s started something ..... first and only wife 39 years and counting, first and only Nova 35 years and counting :thumbup:

Nice neat solution for the steering column going through the bulkhead

First and only wife, 40 years and counting, and I've only had my Nova 13.5 years. Mind you I did have a brief 2 year fling with another Nova back in...

Very nice - good work :thumbup:

Been multi tasking while trying to get the wiring done. One small but important item was to make a seal for the steering column shaft as it exits...

Couldn't agree more Peter, wife 32 years, Nova 43 years was my 21st birthday present

First wife 27 years, current wife 20 years, car 26 years. :facepalm: Great thing is "Still alive", so many of us are no longer able to claim that...

Thanks for all the advice. A suitable manifold is about £180 so given that this would only be temporary, and with minimal performance gains I think...

Hi Phil I doubt you would even notice any power difference changing the carb, if you really wanted to do it and it’s a weber DFEV here’s a starting...

I am sure it would be a lot of messing without a huge gain, jets would probably have to be changed just to change them back again for the new engine...

I'm not an expert on carbs Phill, but it sounds like an interesting idea .... only thing that strikes me is would the inlet manifold for the 32/36...

Thanks Alistair Just a thought - would it be worthwhile fitting the weber 32/36 that came with the engine onto my 1300cc twinport in the meantime?...

Relationships that last a long time aren't easy. After the initial lust they generally require lots of patience, compromise and forgiveness, and...

Although saying that this nova has survived 6 house moves and 3 seriouse relationships. So maybe I like it a bit!

Thanks. Its a love hate relationship. I hate the car and it loves to cost me money

Excellent ... just let me know when you'd like to pick it up :thumbup:

That would be great Alistair - I've just been looking on line at the price of engine stands and yokes. I rebuilt my existing engine on the garage...

Phill, I've been looking through your thread again ... regardless of whether or not you get to the bottom of the problem before you start your strip...

Thanks Jim. All very re-assuring, and I agree re MOT station. I’ve been going to the same place for years, and it only does MOTs, not repairs. They...

Similar experience here too. Both Novas I have put through multiple MOTs had adjustable bias on braking via a bias bar. In fact on the first Nena MOT...

I like your idea of covering the valve Peter. If I put mine in the passenger footwell that would protect it from getting accidentally kicked. Hope...

Great to see progress and the sun shinning, wish I could say the same. Good point about the bake bias adjustment, I WAS going to put the knob for...

That's great Mike. I'll probably put it inside in the passenger footwell so that I can fit the body without disconnecting it, but it's also out of...

Looking forward to seeing the 2.1 Litre conversion, and Omex fuel injection :thumbup:

Good to see man :thumbup:

As Lauren says I don’t think you’ll have any problems with the brake bias adjusters inside ,on my tarmac rally car used to run everything inside a...

It is indeed David ... thanks! :thumbup:
