there used to be a guide micky wrote on this under the sticky section at the top of the section, most conversions use astra/cav rear disc set up
i know pvd do a kit for ?99 that you weld on to your existing axle and bolt the whole lot to but they take a long time to come in by all accounts

hope that helps :?

the guide is still at

as soon as I can sweet talk my ex into letting me borrow her digicam I am going to do a guide for it. wanted to use golf setup but couldn't find one, so i'm using a cav 2.0 setup

occasionally they sell a complete beam on www.motorsportdirect.co.uk that they have taken from a rally car. this is the easiest way cos its all done for you
