Have a look at superfwd.co.uk
I think nick j's nova and Andy bishops run a VW bearing in a machined hub with an extra piece of aluminium machined that bolts to where the brake dust shield bolts to, to take the wider bearing. Defiantly seen some pictures on here might of been in a thread started by the previous owner to nick.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”
Harry Hockley will machine your hub to accept the Audi bearing. You then fit the standard 2.0 flanges I think.
fit a pair of equal length shafts if you haven't already
Who's a lucky boy I keep looking at the 3j, loan it to me haha
Anyone got a setup forsale??
The bearing is VW Audi group correct. The part you want is actually a MKIII Golf rear wheel bearing and the part to google is:- BAHB311315AD
Any good machinist can do the work for you that understands tolerances for interference fits.
