Does anyone know what bearing I need in the hub for motorsport driveshafts?

Thanks

If your using Group A stuff then you'll need some Group A bearings ! which are available from Chris Astley MotorSport or Harry Hockly MotorSport, about £30 each.
Or if your just using machined down flanges then they'll just be std Nova bearings.

I believe the GPA bearings are the same size as a VW/Audi bearing if that helps

i have a pair of built up group A hubs on the ebay at the moment, correct bearing, all tollerances are correct, unused.

Used to have 8 sets built up in a spares package, though a "ur quatro" bearing rings a bell.

same bearing iirc, it wont fit til the knuckle has been machined, then the drive flange wont fit til its been profiled.

Which hub set up do you have then, Grp A stuff or just Nova stuff with machined down big block flanges ??
You aint gonna pick up the Grp A bearings up cheap, just go to Chris Astley or Harry Hockley !!
