 My '81 now has a "FF" (long ratio) gearbox.  I have a spare AGB and was
just thinking about putting it in to see how I like it in the MK1...
Can I keep my old axles (90mm) and just swap the 90mm flanges onto the
AGB trans?  
Also, what clutch & disk would be recommended in this case?
(a 1.8 JH mated to a AGB trans...)

Thanks
