With the GSX you will have to flip the axle.
With bevel drives, if the drive shaft is on the RHS you don't need to. On the LHS you do (Right is right, left is wrong).

I didn't know that Olds!  I knew that the axle had to be flipped for my Kwak GT550, but I didn't know it depended which side the drive is - of course it's obvious now you say it!   Roll Eyes

This is worth a watch Ash. Someone posted it on here a while ago (I forget who), it really explains differentials well. And it is really cool retro as well Smiley

Each to his own ash, but I have, and would again, redrill the hubs for 12mm studs and 100mm Pcd. The new holes move in, so do not weaken the hub, you get stronger studs, and the axle is no wider.
Just my own thoughts, buying adapters might ultimately be easier though.
Have a look here,
