no easy way unfortunatly, 5stud hubs wont fit mk1 bearing carriers, and mk2/3 bearing carriers wont fit a mk1 without modifications. at the back yo need to convert to rear discs

the problem with mk2/3 hubs is the track rod mounting is in the wrong spot, so you have to use balljoint or track rod spacers to bring the geometry back into spec.

dont think you can get adaptors, problem is the bolts overlap in places?
