corsa's use the universal clamps that 85% of all cars use. anywhere with a bench will be able to clamp a corsa

the universal clamps are ok, they take ages to put together. We order them to the car as most cars on the jig are insurence work so the cost is inc of the estimate. But yes we could use the universal set

We used to do that at a garage I worked at, used to wrap a big chain around the steel gatepost, attach it to the car and then drop the clutch

i dont know what type of bench u use, but with the car o liner the standard clamps do the vast majority of cars and if u wanna be fast at it the car can be on the bench up on clamps in 15 mins
