they can make you engine mounts but you have to get the fitting kits from them, or get parts from a GTE in a scrappy which is cheaper. u2u beardy for info or try cossvaux on 01142435010

Fitting Kit on the Cheap
- Shafts (£15 per shaft from a Brakers with CV's)
Any 2lt 16v shafts will fit like Astra GTE GSi Cav GSI etc etc
- Hubs (£15 each and Machine work £20 per Hub)
u need 2lt 16v Hubs Machined to fit corsa barings
also u will need 2 new wheel barings (proper GM ones) for when u change the hubs, this isent a Part of the PVD kit but added it on anyway as you need it no matter when kit you use (2 x £40)
- SFI replacment box (total £32)
Vauxhall Part number 90411677 £12
Mounting plate for the pipe £25 TopGear – 0128 241 4413
- Anti Roll bar spacers (£5)
2 blocks of ally with 2 holes in
- Engine mount (£60)
of random people on line who will make them for you
Total Price - £277
and your getting your wheel baring aswell where with PVD kit you have £500 for kit plus another £80 ontop of barings
Only good thing with PVD kit is hubs and shaft have life time garrentee (heard a few storys about there garrentees ) but i have had standard stafts and macheined hubs on mine for 8 months and not a problem as is Vauxgirl for the past 4 years

im sure you will agree beardy that the fitting kits dont cost as much as expected to be manufactured, in comparison to how much they are sold by pvd

its all about profits for PVD
think about it :-
Machine shop profit
----->
M-Tech profit
----->
PVD profit
you can cut out all that by doing your own work and find out what really things are.
and to save a few £££ then its worth the time out to shop around and get from else where
Also the fitting manual is -
Wireing diagram out of Haynes (really no use unless u can read them)
remove engine
build new engine up
lift engine into place
bolt in
wire
pipe
add fluids
best way to do it
get a Haynes manual for the engine (2lt 16v) and everything u need to know is in there
