All Corsa B's have these fitted John. They weight a tonne.

Have to LOL at theory of fitting rubbish like this... "Itll stop flex from the rack"... No, no it wont. Replacing the 1mm sheet steel bulkhead the rack is attached to will though.

They must of designed them for a reason and they wouldn't of ditched the Nova mounts just because. They wont make much difference but they must help in some way otherwise Vauxhall wouldn't of run them for 7 years!

They probably stiffen things up very slightly BUT as Mike said the bulkhead is piss thin and the rack is mounted on rubbers anyway so pointless upgrade IMO
