Either use Corsa GSi Shafts (they're 22 spline) with MK2 Cav 1.6 Inner CV Joints (to fit the gearbox) or buy the shafts in the kit as Eddx14xe posted.

Did you cut them down or anything Nic? When i was looking at conversions, i read that they are 3mm too long and would have to be machined down to fit properly
