Default ADVISE ON WHAT SHAFTS ARE REQUIRED WHEN FITTING A MTX75 BOX

AS ABOVE I KNOW SOMONE LOCAL THAT IS BREAKING A MK6 RS2000 BUT WAS UNSURE IF THE LATER ESCORT SHAFTS WILL ALSO TRANSFER OVER TO THE MK4 SHELL AS THEY MIGHT BE TOO LONG OR TO BIG IN DIAMETER TO PLUG INTO THE OUTER HUBS OR IS THERE ANY OTHER UNFORSEEN PROBLEMS THAT I HAVNT THOUGHT OF

No OE shafts are a direct fit. Some welding or fabrication will be needed in any case.
