Vekke - Sorry to ask a question about a topic that was discussed in January of this year..

On the Lupo 3L conversion to manual, I have decided to use the 1.4TDI transmission from a Lupo/Arosa. I am trying to work out which axles and therefore wheel bearings to use, as the 1.4TDI uses a later style axle inner joint and larger outer spline size, both of which are desirable in my mind for everything except weight (price, strength, availability). The old wheel bearings are bad, but I would of course like to retain the aluminium suspension and spindles, although ditching the combination bearing/hub would be desirable to.

I would love to know any insight you or others may have - either about possible replacement bearings and hubs that will allow the 1.4TDI outer cups to fit etc. Thanks!
