Just wondering what xe mounts I need as the engine only has pre mounts so what ones will I need for a post? The gearbox one is the same anyway isn't it? How much do these cost roughly if I can find them second hand? Cheers

What engine did you car have when it left the factory?
If it was a 8V, use type 1.
Multivalve, use type 2.

Front left gearbox mount you just use the standard Corsa one.
The rear mid gearbox mount, again just use the standard Corsa one but with a 12mm spacer between the mount and the gearbox and use longer bolts.
The engine mounts you need depend on the Corsa.
8v with no power steering is body type 1.
Body type 2 mounts are for Corsas that have either 12 or 16 valves and/or power steering.
Body type 1 just uses one engine mount. Body type 2 requires a second chassis mount that needs a rubber mount from a Nova.
You can buy the mounts and gearbox spacer new from David Dixon on AllCorsa and PNG, not sure if he's on here. Or just browse the for sale sections and see if any one has them for sale.
