Welcome! Where are you from?

Friend of mine has a rail (fugitive iirc) too with 2,4 ltr type 4 for the road. Crazy machine and quick as h*ll round corners too.

I agree. You can also use the Vanagon T3 axles, they are virtually equal length and also have the 100mm CV's on both sides.
Only if you retain the T1 gearbox will you need to swap CV's (not all fit on all axles) or swap the flanges on the tranny for 181 flanges that have 100mm output sides.
