    There's not enough information!

    How can anybody give any advice on modifying a part that is different to the original part if you do not give any details as to what the differences are? :confused:

    (TBH, rather than trying to make a "wrong" part fit, it would probably be easier to source the correct part)

    For my Mondial and ended up sending it back and buying a factory part.
    My mechanic told me that modifying the SF part would result in removing a seal which could allow the inner bearing to get dirty and fail prematurely.
    At the end of the day, the cost savings wasn't worth it for me.
