im going to be fitted a c20let with f28 into my corsa very soon.

i have the drivers side mount, what else do i need.

with the gearbox spacers, is there spacers just for the f28 or will f20 gearbox spacers fit?

You need to use the standard corsa back mount & tap new drill threads in to the gearbox iirc. F20 or F28 gearbox spacers will be fine to use dude.

on the side of the gearbox you need to drill the holes out bigger where the back mount goes.

Be VERY carefull with the drill though, because the material is soft its easy for the drill to "grab" and you end up with oversize oval holes that are no use to man nor beast.

Best to go up in 0.5mm steps IMO

The only mounts im aware of that people use are the standard back gearbox mount from a corsa with a spacer & you need the f28 gearbox mount made for a corsa ( £35 i think ).

You need to dril lthe holes to 10.2mm, 10mm can be used but be carefull when tapping the holes out and dont drill too deep on the lower hole.

If you need a F28 mount and 2wd conversion kit i have them both in stock.

where does the third plate go on that gearbox spacer kit?

I assume one plate on each side of the original mount, but what about the third?

You have to put two together inbetween the gearbox & mount & then the third one goes on the out side of the mount
