Fronts:
Macine 5 stud flange to fit Corsa bearing, or
Machine steering knuckles out to accept (Nova) Group A bearings (larger), 5 stud flange just needs a very small amount machined off it to clear steering knuckle, or
Few folk been talking about doing this on Novas, supposedly Vectra B steering knuckles / bearings / hubs will fit straight on, the only thing you need to sort is the bottom ball joint, the Corsa / Nova one is smaller than the Vectra (maybe make something up using Rosejoints ?).
Rears:
Best bet is to use Cav V6 parts ... just the same as doing a normal rear disc conversion.
You can use Vectra bits but the discs are a bit on the big side really, the handbrake runs underneath and the stub axles are held on with studs and nuts instead of bolts ... u've gotta chop the beam a bit as there isn't enough room to get a socket on the nuts !!
Totaly pointless conversion ... but it looks cool !!

Just the bits from an Astra GTE / GSi, Cav ect, not really needed tho tbh, a good set of drums will do the job more than well enough.

Gotta chop the origional plates off the Corsa beam and then weld the plates off the Astra / Cav, then just use the new plate as guide to drill thru the rest of the beam, not that difficult really.
You can actully buy the plates ready to weld on from Chris Astley ect ...
