RE: 4K vs 2H

[Alex Ting <alext@nu2u.net>]

this is true, in that Peter says that you cannot 
PROPERLY fit them on.
However, I just ran into this problem after doing an
engine/tranny swap on my buddy's GTI, and on the advice
of Brett, we left the 100mm inners on the 90mm shaft 
without using the retaining ring.  The retaining ring
appears to be the only part that doesn't fit, but really,
where could the splined shaft possibly go?
BTW, if my buddy careens off the road because of the
lack of retaining ring, it's all Brett's fault...(j/k) :)

They are not the same...

You can't PROPERLY fit 100mm inner CV's on a 90mm axle shaft.

Btw, there is an iteresting thread on flange swaps at:
