pic request (5 stud conversion)

[Benn]

No, the beam is that shape, with a plate on top. You take the outer plate off, then fit the other plate from the disc beam.

Like this...

[crombievts]

ah so there is 2 plates to start with

[Benn]

Yes!

[Mark T]

there's a plate welded on the beam already, you need to cut that off with a slitting disc and hamer n chisel.

then weld the big block plate over the top.

As above, the beam has a plate welded on the outside, you need to split that off and fit the big block one instead.

[crombievts]

Yes!

ah. why didnt you say ?. so when i fit the new 1 on top, how do the holes line up with the rear plate.

[Benn]

I'm sure we all have.

[crombievts]

lol cheers. i 90% get it. when i fit the new plate the bolt holes wont line up with the rear holes. what do i do there

[Benn]

Drill them. I'd guess. (mine came done)

Right crombie

1st job get the axle bare,the standard corsa plates that are on the beam cut them off,2. weld on conversion plates make sure the smaller corsa hub hole is in the centre of the main conversion plate i.e tack it first to make sure,3 make a mark were to slit the side of the corsa beam so the 1 stud and back nut will fit then,bend back to the lip of the conversion plate,holes will need drilling in the beam then 1`s standig fill with weld,if using mk4 brakes ul need to drill make centre hole to 60mm,straight forward from there onwards.

[crombievts]
