They should fit your nova Jim. Sell me those 2 old rubber snubbers so you can put the new and improved snubbers on your bars after you restore them. Thanks, Sam

These are what I beleive to be the right flat style early snubber. Later ones were more pointy.

There are early "long tail" bars which I like.

Here you can see the "J bolt" bump/bracket from the bottom, typically found on higher-end bars of the late 60's and early 1970's.
