    Does anyone know if it’s possible to buy these? If not, does anyone have the dimensions so I can make my own?

    Thanks,

    Hello mate. I’m doing this at the moment. I’m fitting everything I can from the S3 into the syncro.

    I got the dutchbuild gearbox mount to save time but made my own haldex mount using dutchbuild’s example….

    I’ve got the mk3 syncro rear arms and have just put the wheel bearings and hubs in. I’m having a bit of trouble fitting the ABS rings over the driveshaft CV – looking like I’ll have to get it machined back a bit to fit the rings. I’m using the S3 front and rear brakes too.

    I’ll update my build thread when I get some spare time.

    I’ve also fitted the S3 interior and am about to fit the S3 dash. All this depends on how comfortable you are with cutting chunks out of your car and welding them back in.

    aaah noooo. Never mind…I’ll make some ‘adjustments’ with an angle grinder. [xx(]

    Thanks for looking Chris [:)]

    Yeah the ABS rings on ETKA show the standard rings that would be used in the rear discs of a mk2, mk3 and mk4 golf. I’m not sure if the CVs were different for syncro models with ABS??

    Here are a few pics…

    Chris, do the rear CVs have to be machined to take the ABS rings? I can’t get the ring to go over the CV – it’s approx 2mm too narrow. I heated it up with a blow torch but couldn’t get it to go over [xx(]

    Just had a look on ETKA – looks like it’s the standard ring used on all models 1J0614149.

    Will it fit over the normal syncro driveshaft or was there a different one for ABS?

    Thanks Chris!

    Another quick question…rear ABS ring that goes on the CV. Is this the same ring that would go on a normal mk2 with disc brakes? If so, does it just slip over the CV?

    Thanks,
    Kav

    Will the steering rack not get in the way once the bolts are in?

    How/where did you have the shafts shortened? I assume they’re S3/TT shafts?

    Thanks dude. I’m using Dutchdub’s gearbox mount, however I’ll make my own Haldex mount using the Syncro beam.

    I’m just trying to decide whether to buy a compressor/sandblasting kit or to just have all the bits sandblasted before I make the mounts…decisions decisions [}:)]
