As the Nova master cylinder has four outlets and the Corsa B master cylinder only has two what is the best way to get fluid to all four corners?
I will be fitting a hydraulic handbrake at some point so ideally can I run a single line through that and split it nearer the back wheels?
Any info or advice would be much appreciated :thumb:
You have to use splitters IIRC mate.

t peice for the front and single to your back.
Use the Corsa B 4 way splitter block. Job done.

Fit the Nova master cylinder to the corsa servo with the Corsas fluid reservoir.

think i will T-piece it at the front then run a single line through handbrake and T-piece it near rear beam. Where is the best place to get copper lines and fittings?

Your local motor factors, you will have bias issues like this however. My solution simply converts teh Nova master cylinder with the correct proportioning valves already on it to a vertical fitment for the Corsa servo. That makes the most sense.

Is it a direct swap or is any work involved to fit it?
Personally id go for a adjustable rear bias, Which you WILL need if you run the corsa MC.
Otherwise get the reducers from a corsa 1.0/1.2. There inline behind the fuel tank.
But the nova MC will fit straight onto the corsa setup.
You WILL need an inline bias valve if your gonna waste your time fitting a fly off handbrake.
