agreed, virtually impossible, mountings are completely different... need to butcher the chassis to make it fit...

Or cobble up a mount, after all the pissing about would just be easier to change the box.

Anythings possible, its just how much money/time/patience it requires/you have

A MK4 box is completely different to the mounting point on a MK3 box, a MK4 box is missing the mount needed.

It does fit but needs work done to the craddle to clear the rollbar bolt and then you need to mess about with the mount as it becomes lower etc. etc..

If want a decent rollbar setup then you will need to change the gearbox or casing at least.

IMO its the best mod you could do for handling and suspension well worth doing.

The cradle is the thing on yours the the gearbox is currently mounted in, and the casing is the actual box itself!

Would be easier to get a whole gearbox IMO.

And even then you still have to modify your cars cross member as the bolt holes for the roll bar are in different places, and weld tubes in etc.
