    Send me details! I have the conversion plates but it's not immediately obvious where to weld!

    Thanks

    Is it for a mk2 Astra conversion? Square plates aren't they?

    Yep - I bought the plates from eBay - but as they are a slightly different shape - I want to be 100% before the welder's out!

    Not fancy going for a more modern bolt-on way of rear discing it? The welded plates seems a bit of a dated way of doing it.

    Doesnt the corsa c rear disc conversion just bolt on in the original holes?
    1.6 16v's are the way forward!

    Yes with a very minor tickle to the back of the stub axle off the Corsa. The cable handbrake operates the caliper mechanism and it's all very compact and modern-ish.
