chris astley sells some of the components for it but you need the half shafts and shaft from a calibra iirc, plus a different engine mount? not too sure on that though

dont need an extra engine mount...

on a corsa, you can use the equal lengh setup from a cav or cali, both shafts

you will need big block hubs machined or conversion one's

sometimes the shafts need shortening a few mm, but not always

so basically, buy 2 cali short shafts? i'm buying new hubs so i'll just get 4 stud conversion one's, and shorting a shaft shouldn't be too much problem, will gearbox spacer cause any problems etc?

you need the "normal" short one..
then the equal lengh part, which bolts to engine block
then the other small shaft from the long size

they call them equal lengh, but it's still slightly longer on one side, but still close

Ignore the M32 box in the picture, top right there is a small bracket I thought you had to use to use equal lengths, bolts onto the engine?

i know they came on some mk3 astra gsi's. im not actually sure if they also came on some of the ecotec engines?

the g reg cav i had did have one but that had an engine conversion, and so did the L reg calivra 16v i broke had one.

v6 is a difference block for obvious reasons, so if it did, id not be sure that the bracket would bolt up to a 4 cylinder block.
