Hello Warwick,
just seeing your message on my profile!
Sorry for this late reply.
As far as i Know, front hub bearings are not anymore available from AUDI or any other manufacturer for a long time.
I know only two ways to solve this problem :
- The modification of standard bearings to adapt them to the hub. That's what a friend of mine and myself did. We gave an old bearing parted out of a wreck to a specialist who grinded the new ones to get the same dimensions. As no one of us fited them on his car, I can't give you the reliability of this solution.
- The modification of the hub to adapt biger bearings. I know one guy here in France, who did It. It runs OK.
Unfortunatly, he's so stupid that he doesn't want to give any information about the new dimensions of the hubs or the type of bearings he used!

That's all i can say, hope it will be helpfull.
Be well,
Patrick

Warrick, i couldn't pick up on your profile where in the world you are from - let me know as I can possibly put you in touch with a coupe in South Africa that might be for sale - its the one that I needed a windscreen for but I think the owner is going to abandon the project....
