90mm spindles will not take 100mm axles.
All the bearings are the same for both.

the biggest gimmie is that of your new Spring clips are round eared don't use them the Spring clips have flat ears.



What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

These are aftermarket items for later cabrio with 100mm shafts. Assuming good copies of original hubs i think the difference is the outer recess at the top…which    lesser hubs do not have.
