ask JonnyJ about my kits, he used one to fit his XE. we also use non machined hubs in favour of hubs that are designed for the conversion (made by Bilstein) and solid 1 piece driveshafts.

Dave - How much is your kit and what other parts would be required if all I could get from the donor car was the engine, gearbox, loom and ecu?

can't ya just buy a new engine RH mount and get late cav inner cv's and use 22spline corsa shafts, now that would be cheap, but don't know how long shafts would last until snappage occurs, again correct me if i'm wrong don't want no arguments again
