are you thinking from a spacers point of view? can you not place a cav shaft next to a nova one and measure the difference?
Yes i am thinking for a spacers point of view - and if i had a cav shaft i could lol hence i asked instead!Quote:

I know what you're trying to do. I've got a standard shaft but its at my workshop so no use to you whatsoever at this time! If no one comes back to you by the morning i'll measure it when I'm up there tomorrow.
I'm trying to avoid fitting wheel spacers or going for 8inch wide front wheels as it will probably track like funk all over the place!
Can you not just run corsa bottom arms, steering rack and modify the coilovers mounts?
I just want to know what i can gain track wise from the wider stuff off of any one of the above cars as just the wider corsa/cav/cali/astra stuff may not be enough...I will be running my own bottom arms a modded nova rack and a spacer of some sort if all works out
lol sorry that should be chicken bar...Quote:

Here is how.....

And welded the new metal in - not the prettiest of jobs but no more rust never the less.

and did a small repair further up the arch

I'm going to leave the 'metal' finish as i cba with filler its a track car so aesthetics arn't as important and the nosh will only add more weight. I haven't a clue what the repair will look like once the car is on its belly again (dog sh!t i imagin) as its hard to see with the car on its side, but its done now.
After a session with the grinder and a sanding disc i got some primer on the new metal - job done!
