No one will be able to help you mate, reason is noone has really done the conversion.
No one makes a off the shelf fitting kit, everything has to be made and all is trial and error.
The only people who can help you are not going to give you all the research and infomation without a cost.
Before you jump into this conversion do research mate, more so read up on the wiring side

The M-Tech has been coming out for 2 years now so i wouldent hold my breath there mate.
Who is the other company? JNC?
I have only found 1 company who want like £300 per mount

ok there might be a change in direction...
i see there are a number of people who put a c20let into a corsa c, would this mean parts for the conversion would be easier to source...
