Just wanted to know if a calibre rear beam would fit a nova for a disk conversion?

If it does are the any mods to do, apart for the handbrake cable ect....

cheers

No, you need adaptor plates to fit discs to the rear, and you need to use Astra GSi ones, as Cally ones will be far too big.

You'll also need some sort of compensator to stop the back end locking up all the time.

IMO dont bother, unless your hacked off with servicing the drums lol

thanks for the comments guys, i didnt think it would fit on! I knew bout the astra way of doing it, but few people have said it will go straight on! lol Idiots!lol

Im just going to stick to me trusty drums, got no weight in the rear so dont matter too much anyway.

Use the bias valves from a GTE 16v master cylinder. ;)

If the novas stripped at the back, you'll still be locking up everywhere lol
