Hi, yes N/A hubs fit onto SC driveshafts, i had a n/s/r one fitted to mine a few days ago and it works fine. SC driveshafts are different to N/A ones though. I learned that the hard way.

You *may* have an issue with mk1a hubs.

I know mk1b driveshafts dont fit in mk1a hubs.

Any later mk1 and you should be fine :thumleft:

Maybe its the other way round then but I definitnly had a problem with fitment on my 1a race car (cant remember what hubs where on and it was a crossover) :-k

When inspecting the ends of the driveshafts themselves there was a very slight difference that prevented the driveshaft seating as it was meant to. I dint know where I put the photos, I think I lost them in a hdd popping.
