Its easy to do. Get a cav rear beam. take the disks off. There are four bolt on the back. Under the disks there is a thick metal plate that needs to be cut off and welded to the corsa beam. you will see why when you do it.
break pipes are easy i used astra GTE ones on mine. Handbreak cable is a bit harder but i think that one off a newer corsa will fit. I did mine a few years ago before the new shape corsa's came out so i used a astra GTE cable and made a few nots in it lol did the job and never failed me
