Yes I think my nova one looks exactly the same. I have some pics but VERY poor quality...
Did you put the 45 degree pipe on yours or was it already there? I might do the same to mine with 90 degree, unfortunatly the pipe is 15.5mm on the h/c so the elbows I have wont fit
The visible fin area on mine is 185mm by 160mm. Ive been using 2x80mm + 2x92mm fans on one side. I found adding fans to the other side didnt help temps atall.
Whats yours made out of? I thought mine was compleatly copper, and very tarnished. Ive just pollished the top bit which seems to be brass/bronze (cant remember which looks this colour!). The fins still apear to be copper, but covered in solder?..
This cost me £10. It wasnt in great condition, but it doesnt leak
iirc opal are a german company vaxhaul took over. Ive nto heard of a "kadet" car but it might be therre name for astra or another vaxhual car..
I would be interested if your vaxhual astra h/c also has "86 F HIARRISON" on the bottom. On mine its quite hard to read, and I had it a while before i noticed it...
