I could be wrong but I don't think that combination will work.

I think you can only use calipers from mk3 golf if they are 280mm discs, not 288mm.  Also I think  to use mk 2 golf 256 mm discs on mk1 you need to use hard to find caliper carriers, I think these are possibly from a 16v scirrocco (first one)

Some mk3 golfs had 4x100 wheels and VW11 brake calipers.

These spec calipers and carriers will work with no issues.

Girling 54 type calipers will work if you have the correct carrier brackets.

sounds like you've found some so buy them and try it.
