The paddle in the pic is just for getting the bracket made, the one i fit will be a bit smaller not much maybe an inch off top and bottom also hoping the new paddle might be in carbon :-)

Starting to fit the cylinder and sort out the manual shift if we have a problem with the paddle setup, taking a bit longer than i thought but its all good so far.

Made this bracket up to park the gearstick, when the paddle is sorted we dont want the whole gearstick moving as it will decrease the gearchange speed and maybe need a bigger cylinder, then made a plate with an oil impregnated bush to keep the rod central in the bulkhead.
So thats all the brackets done just waiting on the wiring loom and mapping next week fingers crossed.

Having a few bits made to finish off the paddle shift and had a problem with a faulty pressure sender so should be driving the car next week, meanwhile ive never liked the rear stub axles on the Corsa B so sourced some Corsa C stub axles much bigger parralell bearing just need to space the rear and the caliper to suit.

Not the best video but gives you an idea, we had 2 pressure sensors that were faulty but were all good to go now :-)
