    yeah, read your guide and how you mounted them upside down.

    I've been eying it up tho and really can't see what difference its gonna make having the cable run along the bottom? astra gsi cable should be more than long enough and looks as if just a little needs shaving off the conversion plate.

    Aye, i'm sure it'll be better with the Astra cables, i'm 1/2 tempted to re-do mine, one of my cable guides have snapped off so might have a go with the Astra cables ... i'll see how you get on.
    Biggest pain imo is making anough room to get the nuts on the 4 studs.

    what cables are you running at the moment then?

    The stubs do look like they are gonna be an ass. Not my worry tho. Handing it over to my mechanic/welder mate with a rough description of what I want and he'll sort it!

    Nova long cable, MK2 Cav short cable, same as whats used on most rear disk conversions.
    Aye always easier to give someone else the hassel of getting things to fit !!

    Dropped the beam off to mate today who is going to get the conversion plates welded on the set the whole beam up in a jig and reset it so the hub face has 1deg -ve camber each side

    So with not much to do I set to my rear inner arches with a brush to see what they were like and I'm pleased...




    I then got bored and started messing around...





    Thats on 205/45 tyres which is what I'll probably run and its hitting the top of the arch. looks like I'll be tubbing the rears then! lmao
