How do u do it? I thought you would be able to drill & re-tap the holes on the corsa axle to suit the cavvy stubs, eradicating the need for welding. Although, if i've interpreted the qoute below correctly, it's a case of cutting the plate from the cavvy axle, welding it on and then drilling through & re-tapping? Seems pointless if you have to drill thru, why not just re-tap the corsa beam? Confused I am!  Not gonna start chopping things unless 100% sure. I also cant weld, know plenty about the theory & metalurgy but they dont teach you fabrication at uni which is quite shite, the only thing I can stick together are skins!  Cheers 4 any help folks, I know there r a few old hands at this.
00:35:49] moshi icy: what exactly do u need for rear brake conversion
again? mate works in scrappy n he wants to do it to his
corsa
[00:36:22] JJ: ahhhh, i could tell ya but i'd have to kill ya lol
[00:36:34] moshi icy: uv told me b4
[00:36:44] JJ: lol
[00:37 8] JJ: ok, best to get a rear axle from a corsa and use it for
the conversion as it can take some time
[00:37:19] JJ: also a cav sri rear axle
[00:37:33] JJ: new discs and wheel bearings
[00:37:59] JJ: then ya gotta make up the handbrake cables
[00:388] JJ: recondition the calipers
[00:38:24] JJ: remove the stub axles fron the cav axle
[00:399] JJ: grind the stub axle plates with the position holes of
from the cav axle had position and weld them to the corsa
beam
[00:39:29] JJ: drill the holes out for the stub axle
[00:39:55] JJ: then build up the axle fit the calipers, replumb thr
brakes
[00:42:55] JJ: ya got that?
