Is it possible yo fit the corsa c rear disks and calipers to a Nova? There have been some murmurs on s rally site about it but thought if anyone was likely to do it they would be on here.

If it is possible what is involved? Also what provision for a handbrake is possible?

I can't see why you couldn't fit them, the Corsa C rear beam is fairly similar layout to the Nova. Would just be the same method as fitting Astra GTE etc rear discs. Did the 1.4 SRis have rear discs or just the 1.8s??

They bolt straight on don't need to change plates

If you search through there was a thread about them a bit back

I thought the 1.8 Sri brakes could be used
