Anyone know where i can just get these from?

Got the rest of the bits and pieces for the conversion, just need these parts.

Any help would be good. Thanks.

Cheers for the help.

Does anyone know of someone that sells their own machined hubs to fit astra GTE shafts? There was a bloke on Migweb but hes stopped doin it now.

Just tryin to do the coversion as cheaply as possible. Damn student loans.

philwarren11,

From what I've read on the forum,s using hubs/shafts from a astra for a Corsa XE conversion can end up in alot of problems.

Infact I havent actually heard of someone using them with good results (can someone prove me wrong please?)

If you do things properly, and don't cut corners you'll end up with a good quality conversion.

People get the MTech ones from LMF, V-Tuning and Regal.

Cossvaux's kits from themselves.

Other kits using 1976 Mk2 Cavalier 1800 12v shafts with a 22 spline 5 degree interweave and Astra hubs machined out 2.45343mm with diamond edged butter knife can be found by scouring various Vauxhall forums.

By the genuine article to avoid disappointment.
