if you have nova hubs then use nova bearing, if u have astra hub, use astra bearing.

but im sure ur gonna have a nova hub so nova bearings m8s

I am using astra hubs(to fit my astra cv:s), but i thought that astra bearings wouldent fit where the nova bearing now is fitted???
I want to use astra cv:s outer and inner.

If you use astra hubs you will need to get them machined down in diameter, either to fit nova bearings(little bit thin for my liking) or use vw Polo/golf bearings, bearing carrier needs machined out to a larger diameter and astra hub needs reduced my a small amount(much safer and stronger, but more hard work).

Doddy: thanks! i have found a bearing for audi80 that have the right inner diameter but 3mm to big outer diameter.
I think that i will get my bearing carrier machined out 1,5mm all around.
Or perhaps contakt a company that makes bearings and see if they have a bearing with exact fit?

Cheers!
