See articles section/do a search. Covered a fair few times. If you can source an Astra GTE 16v rear beam, this will save buying the plates, as all you need will be on the beam.

A nova rear beam that has been converted with everything usualy sells for £100, a astra GTE rear beam is usualy about £50 (from what ive seen) so there lol

Astra GTE beams are much rarer to ome by tho in comparison.

I have the parts from a dismantled GTE 16v beam here. Calipers & backplates, used discs, stub axles & used bearings. Only thing missing is the backplates as I used them for mine, but you can redrill & file out the Nova beam which means you won't need to worry about jigging or checking for camber/alignment upset during welding. Cables are easily sorted. I ended up with the correct setup 1st time, despite there never being a definitive answer on any forums.
