Thought I should start this as a 'New topic'
As I started to hijack his Newark 2013 post!

So to all who were interested in a toe bar or toe hitch for a Nova.
As you all know you cannot get one for a Nova and the VW one (if you can find it) will not fit.

So get your welders out and start making it for yourself.

I copied DJ Harrys design and here are the photos of his toe bar fitting which was on his car.

I have mine off the car right now as I had a problem on the way back from stone’s and I am in the process of swapping out the engine for the spare, and it gets in the way for engine removal.

Front fixing bolts to the floor and the dropped seat section Note the bolts which are welded to the angle to form studs

Front fixing bolted to the front engine bolt next to the G/Box which also has the exhaust bolted to it.
