Rear Disc Beam Conversion

[Steve Barker]

got a nova rear beam
got a astra 2.0 16v rear beam with discs

how do i put the discs from the rear beam on the astra on to the rear beam on the nova do i just enlarge the holes and use washers ? :?:

[Ste_Nova]

cut the plates off the astra beam.... cut the plates off the nova beam... weld the astra ones....

[mikeoxford]

and if you weld them back on 30 or 60mm higher than they were orginally, bigno! you just got yourself a free -60mm suspension lowering kit!

[Ste_Nova]

you can't go more than 10mm.... there isn't anything to weld to!!

I have been told that you can bolt on the Cav GSi rear discs straight on to where the std nova drums bolt on so means no weldin or hassle but i am only quotin what i have been told so not definate you can

Just thought this might be a better idea if it can be done!

as ste said........take a look at the inner stub, the bit that bolts on to the beam. they are different shapes.

[mikeoxford]

do i not recall micky just drilling new holes and bolting them on??? regardless of diferent profile holes?

Like i said i was told this by a mate so could be or could not be True!!!
