when u lined the astra spacer onto the corsa axel, how did u aling it?
im lining the top of the plate with the top of the axel part but no holes line up
if i line the centres of the large hole in them, 2 sort of line up
if i line the 2 bottom hole up (about 1/2 of each line up) then the top are way out and also the big holes in the centre are way out
doh need help asap as im welding 2night!! cheers

we aligned it so that it runs straight along the top i think, allign the hold in the middle and then see if you can get 1 or more holes lining up properly. you will have to weld over the old holes and then drill the new ones.

no probs mate got it sorted now
lined top up and centred the large hole
no holes lined up, so drilled 4 new ones
not welding old ones up as yet, seem welded all way round tho
the centre of the drum will now be about 5mm higher by my calculations, so im guessing the wheel will sit furthin up the arch meaning the car will look lower
