Whichever version you had, you should notice pedal issues.
Brakes operate from displacing fluid. 'V6' brakes have a far larger piston surface area, requiring a far greater amount of fluid to be moved, therefore the pedal moves further.
Only way around it is to re-fulcrum point the brake pedal or alter the bar for the pedal box.
You could get a 1/8" larger master cylinder but I cannot find an off the shelf generic one. The Corsa has 2 types of master cylinder, ABS or non ABS - thats it.

Why would you want to drill spigot rings? Surely drilling the disks would be a better idea.
