Further field data for your research:  My 84.5 Wolfsburg with small spare
came from the factory with a 4K transmission, and 90mm flanges.  My
research indicates that the 4K never left the factory with anything but
90mm flanges, so a caveat may be that if you have an 84.5 with a 9A you
have 100mm flanges, but if you have a 4K, you have 90mm flanges.
