I'm building a MK4 with IRS, all parts from FF.
Which nuts & bolts am I supposed to use to mount the differential? The only thing i've been able to find is shorter bolts for the rear and longer bolts for the front. Also, which nuts for the front? One last question, the sleeves for my front mounts both stick out about 1/8", does this matter or should I shave them down?
I appreciate any help you can give.

I am building a coupe with IRS. I believe the mounting hardware is the same. I put together two lists based on my inventory from the coupe. They have helped others cross reference the different fasteners.
The new fastener pack where used list:

My coupe inventory parts list.

If you scroll thru the parts list you will fine a section for the IRS. It will list the parts needed to install it. If you have a fastener that you don't know where it use it then use the where used list. Again, keep in mind that this is for the coupe. It's the same in a lot of things but not all. Hope this helps.

Thanks Scott! The parts list was very helpful and nicely identified the proper bolts for the differential. Did you happen to have any issues with the front sleeve sticking out past the bushing at all? The sleeve measures correctly, it just happens to stick out 1/8".

Mind did too. Tightening the bolt it pushed it in.

It's all mounted up. The excess sleeve appears to take up space given to help mount the differential. I appreciate the help.
