First corner going back together using Duralac between shims.

 

For anyone looking for new ABS brackets the front ones are the same part as the rears, don't listen to the TIS/Vauxhall parts system as that advises to use a normal shim.

Looks really good. It will all be worth the hassle....I really wish I had the time and space to do mine.

Space shouldn't be an issue. I did mine on a driveway that is barely wide enough to open the door. I also managed to put it up on stands so that there was around 15cm of space on the rear o/s corner. Time however is not so easy to find

Had to empty the garage out to make room for it. It's nice being able to tinker without getting cold wet and struggling in the dark.

New upper and lower heat shields ready to go on.
