Mk 3 rear axle - any other options?

Hi,

I have a Mk3 (1988) diesel campervan with twin wheels. Unfortunately the rear axle needs a replacement and it seems it's not an easy part to find (I'm in Poland). Does anyone have an idea on whether it would be possible to install an axle from a newer model, perhaps with some reasonable adjustments?

I'm not an expert on this at all... But I have just been searching for a new axle myself for a twin wheel mk3. I read that mk4 axle can be fitted if you can reweld the leaf spring mounts. It is slightly wider so needs adjusting but will work if you can do this. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will confirm or counter this!

But if you do, you'll end up with different PCDs front and back and your wheels will be 14" on the front and 15" on the rear so you'd need two spares.
