This is going into a Mk1 Pickup and I communicated with Brian at BrokeVW - he said that all he knew is that the 80% shim kits will at least work with the 100mm axles but not for sure on the 90s??? If grinding down ends on 90s solves Mk2 - ACN flanges from being hit and or torqued by Mk1 shafts then that is what I will use - Mk1 90mm CV axles hooking up to Mk2 ACN trans - other wise will need to go for the 100s - thanks for input!mk2 is wider than a mk1.. but the passenger side axle is a tad longer. drivers side axle is same.i doubt there is enough room to grind the axle stubs down enough, and stilll get the c-clip back on the axle.Never said he was using mk2 axles lol. i never did either.. just stating that mk2s are wider, and the axles dnot make up the whole difference..the mk2 trans is WIDER than the mk1 trans as well..the distance from flange to flange is like +1/2"

I should copy this then. I can get fasteners at my cost through work. I have Amish machine shop guys that would machine anything I want for cheap, especially 10 or more at a time. Hmm... You have me thinking.
Nothing but mk1 hubs will work easily on an mk1.
Does anyone know how much slack or play a stock Mk1 or Mk2 CV axle should have - back and forth - in and out - or side to side so as to compare with new modified axles and shim kit after installation? Mine are out already - I was thinking about half inch? One could grip on a couple of visegrips to help in moving and measuring.

I have an ASF, it came with 100mm flanges. Therefore I had to swap on 90mm.
