Re: Wishbone Question
It'll be whatever wishbones were used for the hub carrier stuff.
If you've got the original stuff from the 1.3 for the steering etc just use those type again.

Re: Wishbone Question
As said if you changed them over for the conversion (not needed and wouldn't really advise)
Then you'll need mk3 if you left them as they were then ya mk3.5 wishbones will fit fine, mk3.5 driveshaft cv
Joint are meant to be of better design and the 1.3 shafts them selves are exactly the same thickness as turbo ones
Need any other questions answers feel free to pm me as you know iv done this conversion
