Does anyone know if they make rear axle spacers for the corsa B?

Im on about the square plates with holes that you bolt with longer bolts behind the rear drum / brake (Sit between the axle and drum / brake) making the axle wider without putting extra strain on bearings etc....

They aree VERY good i just fitted some on my fezza and would love to get some for the corsa. I had the 20.5mm ones which ford can supply which makes the rear "axle" (Beam) 41mm longer which really upps the handling.

Thanks, Doldy

Yes, you just have to slacken the h/b cable takes 2 mins to do.

It gives a massive improvement on handling, thats why.

Just get them made up or make them yourself. Would cost next to nothing to get them made out of 5mm mild steel plate.

They are made by Ford, I assume they were for the wide arch Puma Racing..

I went for the 20.5mm axle spacers and the 35mm front / 30mm rear eibach pro springs. Also front OMP strut brace. It handles like a dream its amazing.

Dave and Gazza - 5mm plate would be no good as would want at least 20mm for the rear of my corsa.

They are £15 for ford, but you have to get special grade steel bolts which are another £15 for the 8 so £30 all in delivered.

I wouldnt want to make them, theyre a bit specialist really the wat they are shaped and hollowed out to allow for the abs sensor to fit in too.

I would just want the spacers for looks to bring the wheels out on the rear arch, it handles pretty amazing for a standard car on 45mm springs!

Yeah, i wanted the looks too, but to have that much added handling is a bonus.

You must have had a fuck load of stuff in the boot as mine sits about that with a 45mm drop and stuff in the boot

Thanks mate, are they the ST500 wheels? Or just ST's sprayed black?

Have you got any rubbing issues with the spacers?

Hey! They are 7J ST 17"s but have been done in black yeah (look better when cleaned lol)!

Yes there was a lot in the boot, they say you cant use the 20.5mm spacers with 45mm drop but it WOULD be ok for sure (judging by the above pic).

Im going the 45mm spax drop in the summer, i cant even get in and out of my drive on these 35mm's!
