Copied from migweb,

[QUOTE=DaveB;3909829]Arrived on Thursday Drizz, you'd sent it to my parents house. nevermind, got it in the end

So, todays mission should I decide to accept it; get a Cavalier mk3 rear ARB to fit to a corsa.

Off we go then:

My cavalier ARB was from a 2.0 sri cavalier. You can also use(I believe) one from a v6 cavalier, which is actually thicker.

Then, measure up the up the distance between the holes on the base of the corsa rear beam (116cm) and compare that with the total length of the ARB (120cm)

After measuring 116cm apart on the beam, drill a hole in each end that will fit the relevant bolt size (M10).
<This bit was an absolute twat, and unless you have a pillar drill and some very good drill bits. A normal 'hand' drill might struggle>

After offering this up and bolting it up loosely, I moved the standard (although in this case powerflex) cavalier arb mounting bushes nerear into the middle of the beam.

A trip to the local motorfactors for 2nr 92mm exhaust clamps. Bolt it all up, and WALAH!

An (almost) whiteline rear ARB for a corsa, for just £13.98 (tenner for the arb, 3.98 for the two exhaust clamps!)

First impression, in wet weather, is a BIG improvement. The rear of the car is much stiffer. VERY impressed
