Cheers Alistair,
I have most of the components for refitting flaps from the other type 4 dismantled engine that came with the car, so will clean them up and put them in when I rebuild it.

Most of the tinware seems to be there which is good and everything looks in reasonable condition.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on the lack of the flap control for cold start? Should I re-instate?

Picked up another Type 4 engine, so time to take off the ancillaries to see how it looks.

That’s a really interesting article as I was thinking of changing the rear drums to disc, and never thought about the fluid displacement and different requirement for drum/drum, disc/drum, disc/disc....

Hi All,
I have 2 gearboxes available for my Nova and just checking them over to see which one I will use.
One is AC (1500), and the other is AO (1600).

I have a Smiths Industries Hydraulic pump for the roof, but one of the previous owners appears to have drilled 2 holes in the tank. Which were covered in silicon.
My question is, does the tank get...

The guy is keeping the Nova, but selling off the axles etc as he wants to build his own chassis.

Plan to replace where it’s not an easy refurb. At least get the chassis built back up to a high standard and then get the body back on. Did not want to sell it on as it was, because it was just get...

The photos were sent to me last week. This is how it is now! The interior was immaculate when I sold it 11 years ago. It still even has the same tyres on from when I bought it, and it had been in...
