Gents, 

All of you fellas who have changed to the Grove gear can you tell me if the matco wheels and axles from the welded tube gear will fit the grove legs?

At 1571 bucks...(just checked groves website for price..gulp!) for 24 lbs of aluminum...dont want to spend any more than I have to.



BTW,,,for a MK4 speedster....

I have the Douglas wheels, with Matco brakes, and they fit perfectly  

to the Grove gear. But I could not use my stock axles...I had to use  

the axles that Grove provided.

Hi,



  I have the Grove setup with Matco 6" wheels and brakes.  You want to 

upgrade the axle, the new ones are much stronger , well thats what I was 

told!  Matco does sell the axles that fit the grove gear.

GRove has the right axle for the older 8 inch wheel and matco brakes.

		  From their website it also looks like Grove sells axles to fit just about 

any wheel from a 'fox.
