e30 m10 into e21

Im putting an automatic E30 M10 engine into my manual E21. I have removed the autobox and have a manual clutch fitted. The only problem is the pilot bearing is too narrow and i need another. Should I just buy a manual E21 bearing or should i get a manual E30 one?

They are the same outter diameter. You need to buy the one that matches your box.

Gives the same bearing for most E30's and E21's with manual boxes.
