sure theres somone on MIG who will sell you the same as MTech for alot less.
first you get your donor beam
unbolt the hubs
that lets you get at the spacer plate that is welded to the beam
and has the holes with the with the hub to fit,
carefully grind off the beads of weld from each side of the plate
(arrowed)try not to buff into the plate as you need it
Then you get your corsa beam you unbolt the drum
hub and remove the spacer plates from the beam taking care not
to grind into the beam this time ,chuck the small corsa plates and
offer up the cavy plates you will see the difference right away,clamp
the plate onto the beam , I set it so that the plate is level with the
top edge of the beam and the hole in the middle centred ,you have to
be very accurate to get both sides the same as this affects where the wheels will sit in your arches but dont worry too much as theres not a
lot of room on the beam surface so you can't go far wrong then weld
the plates onto the beam.The hubs bolt through this plate so the welding does'nt have to be ship building standard just a zip up each side
Then drilled out the beam at the cavy spacings in the plate just
welded on and opened out the centre hole to suit the abs type
hub that later cavys and astras have, early mk2 gtes dont have the
lump sticking out the back so will just bolt straight on (they also
have bolts through the hub not studs and nuts like the cavy)
then I bolted on the hub
(taken off a MIG post years ago)
just need the Hard brake cable to sort then
no need for the MTech kit really
