I heard you can use the shafts out of the gsi because the gearbox c.v is a big one and the outer c.v. is a small one. It saves you changing the hubs. These shaftsc are only in the gsi and not the later sport model. The shafts you have got are very difficult to get hold of and it will save you some money. Just double check by having a look at yours.

best off just getting the chunky shafts from cossvaux, saves fucking about.
would you be doing the conversion yourself or paying someone to do it?
