i have the rear setup ready to go on but the front are a little problem.
i need to either get the carrier machined down to work with the corsa bearing or machined out to work with the astra bearings so i can use equal length shafts etc.
does anyone have any advice or pictures of what needs doing please?

if you get hold of the stud pattern you want and you give them a wheel bolt so they know the thread depth etc they should be able to drill it to the stud pattern and tap the holes for your wheel bolts.

Not possible the pcd of the bolts are 110mm where as the std ones are on a 100mm pcd, the holes would end up off the edge of the hub !!
