So do you know which outer c.v's to use?
You can either get v6 flanges machined to fit in standard bearings.
Or
get your corsa hubs machined to take a larger bearing and the the standard v6 flanges machined a little to fit. This is a lot stronger. I can send you pics of this if your not sure.

Na your confused mate, you need different cv's to take a small block gearbox/shafts to a big block flange. The flange is the bit your wheel bolts to. The hub is the part that holds your bearing ball joint and track rod. These are commonly missunderstud.

For the rear you want cav rear brake set-up. re-move the plate from the beam which holds the brake set-up, weld to the beam on the corsa, after re-moving the corsa plate. Then use an astra hand brake cable, you'll aslo have to weld the brackets for the hand brake to the corsa beam.
