Here is the F20 going into my Corsa C20XE conversion



I refuse to pay £20 for the spacer so I'm going to make one myself.

Does the spacer go between the two holes with the red box around them or the blue box.

Thanks in advance

will be a ballache, your much better off buying the kit, correct length bolts, correct thread on the bolts, correct bolt patter, good luck to you though

I'm mightily confused the spacer on eBay only shows 2 holes.

So basically it bolts on to all 3 of those holes. hmm

i had a 2 bolt one and thought it would be fine. i was wrong as it smashed 2 gearbox casings, twisted a metal mount etc.

might be fine for some people but if you use and abuse the car, give it more strength with a 3 bolt one.

If you had the methods to make a 2 hole spacer the 3 hole one doesn't look all that much harder.

Indeed Alan, Chris Astley site is down at the moment so will look at what it costs.

But may just fabricate one myself still

Aye, go for it mate. See if someone can send you a template then just get a bit of plate to suite - I'd be welding the lug on unless you've got a flame/ plasma cutter, would make life a lot easier.
