Can the thread on the front end of the Tie Bar be cut longer so that so that it can be used to adjust the castor or would it weaken the bar too much ?.
Are Corsa B tie bars the same as Nova ones ?.

Corsa ones are different as are the brackets. if you could find a way of lengthening the thread I'm sure it'd be fine. Measure carefully though if the bar is tapered for the existing thread I think you might struggle to get them in a lathe to take the dia down to that of the thread size.

From previous threads on this topic, I think its a lot of work for very minimal gain...then take into account the increased stress on the TCA bushes.
