Ive got all the parts needed to convert my manual sunroof to electric from a Cav Turbo. I decided to buy an Astra sport surround as it looks better and is a neater fit.
However, the bracket that supports the motor in the Cav doesn't fit the Astra surround.
Can it be modified to fit? Do I need to get a different bracket?
See pics;
Cav Turbo Surround
Astra Surround
As you can see the bracket is to wide to fit the Astra surround and even if it wasn't as wide the motor would still be in the wrong postion.
Please Help...

The Cav surround is a very poor fit and its to big as well. The Astra surround looks like it was made for a Corsa

Yes, but the Astra suround can still be used and I've seen pictures of it. I just need to know what to do about the bracket.

you don't need the metal bracket
when you remove the manual bit there are 2 extra holes in the assembly that the electric motor screws straight into
the cav panel fits but looks so I changed it for the astra one
the astra panel is a different colour so you might want the astra switch aswell
had mine in for ages and still looks / works
