Rear disks - Nice and easy... Simply a rear disk conversion but using equipment off of a 5 stud Vauxhall.

Front hubs. Machine some 5 stud hubs down to fit onto the Corsa bearings. They will break though if you ever plan to tkae your car onto a track.

The front is simple because you have done a 2.0 16v conversion...

How do the hubs know you're on a track?
What if you disconnect the "am I on a track sensor" - will that fool it? Will a paperclip test work?

Hub designed to work with w ammount metal on bearing knuckle. You get x machined off the hub there is them y more stress/metal fatigue on the hub so when cornering hard the hub will break more easily because the knuckle on the hub is now z thick.

Or you could get the holes filled in on some M-Tec hubs and re-drilled...

You know how to do it now though... I'd recomend getting an engineering company to modify some M-Tec or Cossvaux hubs. If fact, Cossvaux could probably make some for you seeing as they apparently make all thier stuff themselves...

Hmmm, after reading the advert again, maybe it was just the shatfs they were bragging about making in the UK... Never mind.

Yup, they're the same ones as MTech use. I noticed that when you uploaded photos of your hubs the other day.
