get goodridge braided hoses and for handbrake cables you should be able to buy genuine rocco ones made for rear disks found on the 16v.

Golf Mk1/cabrio fuel filler pipe needs shortening and the top end altering.

If you're buying a new filler neck, you can get an original from VW Classic Parts for around £100 that requires no modification and still uses your existing fuel cap.

Hi and welcome.
I'm 20 miles west of you going by your username.
There is also assistance available in Wishaw, Breahead and East Ayrshire X 2 if you get stuck.
Don't know if any of us have messed about with the filler necks but I'd go for a straight swop rather than "adjustments".
