as above doing a 5 stud conversion on my combo,
been to the breakers and releived a vectra sri v6 from its front stoppers and hubs,
with my van being 1.7 (big block) i can use calibra 16v outer cvs on standard shafts
(v6s and 2.0 have bigger cvs) meaning combo corsa outer cvs wont fit but being 22 spline shafts means i can exchange cally outer cv's onto my shafts thus retaining correct length and inner cv joint for correct gearbox fitment,
i queried the abs ring being bigger due to having wheel speed sensor but all seems good seems the cally cvs will do the job
i checked bearing part number from a corsa b and corsa c which is the same,
so i picked up a corsa b hub and carrier to trial fit all
i removed the corsa hub from the carrier and gave it along with the v6 hubs to my friend so he can machine the v6 hubs to the corsa bearing size thus enabling the hubs to fit in the corsa combo hub and being a 5 stud hub,
i have refitted the machined v6 hub to the carrier and fitted the disc and caliper and all seems fine all lined up ok and all bolted on no issues,
i tried to find somebody breaking a 5 stud corsa or combo but there like rocking horse poo otherwise i would of bought the running gear from it,
also my rear drums are 230mm in diameter,
so ive cross referenced drum dimensions and have came across zafira 1.6 rear drums 5 stud 230mm though i will be needing the stub bearings also which seem to be a direct fit to my axle,
though im looking into a 5 stud rear disc conversion from a astra mk4 but unsure about handbrake cable anyone have an idea which i could interchange to fit my combo
cheers
