Personally I wouldn't bother too much looking for a secondhand one as they stopped making the Vectra B in 2001, although there may be some 2002 registered ones around, so they're going to be 18 yrs old.
You can get part # 1, 90496689 - Shock shock absorber carrier (with the plate and screw) from AutoVaux/GenuinePartSearch for £27.78
The Vectra C is a different setup.
Hope that helps. 🙂
Thanks for the help. I went on facebook as well with my request, last night, and carl came to the rescue. He provided a link for neobros.
This website isn't as active as it used to be so was thinking no one will be on for days. Ordered it up late last night as well. So i should get it tomorrow. which i think will be pretty fast postage

There will be someone in future looking for the same part probably, So your link and mine will be helpful. When the time comes.
It's true there aren't many left cause of age. another couple of months and mine is 19 years old. Still got a fairly solid body on it though. It's lasted longer than any car iv'e had before.
With the rear crossmember panel behind the bumper being the first bit of welding needing done, for the mot in the 10 years iv'e had the car.
Which i think is good testament to how solid the body is .
You'll be lucky to get one in a scrapyard nowadays. Must have phoned a good half dozen yesterday.
Then i looked on ebay. nothing was showing up in the search.
This cars a classic just about.
