Hi all, not work on my own Nova yet, but the Apal buggy.

Due to the bodyshell size have been struggling to fit an air cleaner under the shell. I recalled having to cut a hole in Nena the Nova's engine lid to clear air cleaner, so thought this solution may be of interest.
Not such a new solution really - it is an oil bath remote air cleaner from an early split van. All metal, no rubber bellows to fail and a bracket to support it which bolts under the coil bracket.

Fits a treat and no cutting of bodyshell required http://www.beachbuggy.info/Smileys/Current%20Set/thumbsup.gif

Hope it is of interest - just need to refit engine cage and can test drive

I would certainly have clearance issues on the width with a SS's inner rear wing I can only just get the DellOrtos in.
