Scrappy. Almost any vauxhall will fit I think. Remove them carefully with mole grips

Yea ive removed the long one thats holds the sandwitch and fitted a 1.2 one in its place but ive had to get it as tight as i can with molegrips which isnt ideal so i wanted to now if the 2l8v variant had the allenkey fitment like the original one so its a tighter fit if that makes sence lol.
