Chevette Brng:
21 1/2 mm ID, 42 mm OD, 12 mm width
Opel brng:
24 1/2 mm ID, 52 mm OD, W = 15 mm
One can adapt the Opel brng to the chevette pinion extension shaft by grinding the inner race of the chevette brng to fit the ID of the Opel brng.
I thought about modifying the center support bracket to accomodate the much larger opel donut, but there's a fore-aft problem also. The opel bearing sits in the center of the donut fore-aft wise, while the chevette brng fits into a pocket on the front end of the donut. I was afraid the flange for the u-joint would end up grinding on the front end of the donut.
