Should be a straight swap mate.

Can't see there being any obstacles in your path on that!

Ah! Then yea that will be a lil bit of a kerfuffle

I think of everything in MK3 terms, which also has 1.3 CVH's. Shouldnt be too hard even so. A few wiring mods but it will be simple enough, you'll have to bin the ESC ignition module on the inner wing that the HCS uses.
