Just down the A50 there's JNC racing or Jeff Bloor. Noble Motorsports would also be a good choice, but perhaps about an hour away for you.

You could either take them a kit to bolt in place (which any could do)
Or you could ask them if they'd be happy to fabricate you a mount as required. I'm sure JNC could do that the easiest, if they aren't too stoned.
id probably buy and take them the kit so they could just fit it with rady made parts etc, just umming and arghhing whether to sell the f28 or fit it at the mo, but think id fit it when have spare cash
IF you want mate you could fetch it up to us as im not too far from you. About an hours drive tops to staffordshire.

No thanks Chris
do you mean making a new mount? that would cost more than buying one from Chris there. then its just a bolt in job. assuming you've done the 2wd conversion/drilled and tapped for the rear mount, the only thing that needs modded/welded is the gear linkage. probably a good idea to make sure whoever you take it to knows the ins and outs or you could find it costing a fair bit.
Chris knows exaclty what to do so having to travel an hour doesnt sound so bad IMO.

thick red - battery, thin black - igntion switched feed, thick red/blue - fuel pump, brown/blue - ecu light. thin green - rev counter.
no i meant correct positioning of where to weld the mount to etc. How much approx would it cost for the fitment chris? including fitting 2wd conversion and welding linkage etc. Only a guesstimate as i know each job has its own drawbacks which could add to cost etc.
Thanks
on the corsa you dont have to weld the mount on, its a bolt on fitment, unlike the nova - maybe gettin mixed up there?

Yeah sorry lol, confused between the two been reading more nova turbo threads on here than corsa turbo threads where people have fitted the gearbox's etc themselves
fitting of the F28 into a corsa is that usually an engine out jobbie aswell???
I don't see why it should be as they don't have subframes or transfer boxes.
may look into having cambelt done while gearbox is out aswell for peace of mind etc i guess
