My buddy Dan, "BFDEIHL", tried doing that and they would not fit
properly, if you still want to try it, I think he has the 2 100mm inners
for sale. 8^)

The complete axle is the way to go, I have 2 new rebuilt 100mm A1 axles
for sale, $150, with no core charge, but they might be sold, I'm waiting
to hear back from him.

Not without clearancing the wheelbearing housings, there is interference
between the outer c.v. and the wheelbearing housing, I tried using the
regular wheel bearing housings and I can tell you for fact it will not
work.
The easiest way is to get 2 wheelbearing housings from an '85 and up
Scirocco or Cabriolet.
Let me know if you can't find them, I have a set around here somewhere...

100mm axles are the way to go...

Btw,  this is the ideal time to replace the wheel  bearing and the $5
splash shield.
