BTW, this is the mod I did to my Nova slide stop for it to work properly, it works without it, just makes it a bitch to install...

And this is how I fitted my SFA kit, using a TM 1911A1 base.

Its generally sanding/polishing working surface, filing and sanding where it was interfering. With Nova on 1911 they tend to have some interference with the rear hammer plate to the BBU, and rear sight to the BBU. And of the 2 kits I built I did remove some material at the sliding surface of the BBU as it does protrude above the slide groove. But I'd recommend lots of sanding, refitting to check since you don't want to have a sloppy slide....I think you can avoid sanding the BBU if you can remove the material off the base of the sight, as you've mentioned that without the sight the BBU seems to sit fine. But for me it was easier to sand the BBU as it is softer than working on aluminum. With a mill I might do the sight instead....
