tis easy if you have all the parts some people use the Saxo one too. or the corsa rack with the saxo pump, try the forums in www.motorsportdirect.co.uk question has come up in there, or wait for Brian to post.

yes it fits

you have to have the ends cut down and rethreaded cause the nova is thinner

oh and the small matter of a saxo/106 electric pas pump

if you want easier parkin, but still wanna feel the road at speed, try stickin the rack off an astra mk1 1.2. dont know if it'll definitely fit or what work would be needed, but they work differently to the nova and are slightly larger, stationary turnin is really easy, yet you get good feedback from the road.

just check with your insurers first as they can get funny when you start tinkering with steering.

lol Mike, as im a novice and know jack sh!t about engines!

yesderday, i thought id get the GTE out and get the petrol circulating, gorped at the engine, and although its nice and clean (lots of hours cleaning it) i couldnt make head nor tale of it!

i know the basics, but not enough to do any mods myself!
