We came across this same prob a fair bit and the easy way to do a quick rear end for a split is get a piece of square steel lenght,cut it to same as the splitgearbox width,cutsome stub axels from rear of golf and weld to ends.
The bar will fit perfect in the bottom of the rail of the U shaped gearbox cradle,all you do is jack it up and stick it in,easy in and out.
