Re: Rear Disk conversion (wheel stubs)

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Using the stock early 8v rear axle will work but it will require grinding. 
Nothing major but, a little grinding. It is not necessary to use the GTi 
axle. The 'rocco one will work fine and require the same amount of grinding 
BUT, the GTi axle "might" have more gusseting and therefore better axle 
rigidity.
