Non Minor Axle identification

Post by **WPR678B** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 7:51 pm

I hope someone on here can help here! I have several axles lying about and am trying to find out what came from what car originally!
The first one i was told is a Mark 2 escort and i trust the source but am looking for confirmation please! It has 8 inch drums and a pcd of 108mm

I would also like to know if there is a way of telling the ratio of the diff without removing it? I can see no obvious marking like you have on a good old Minor diff!!

The second axle i was told was Ford when it came to me in a Minor pick up but the PCD is 98mm? and inside one of the massive NINE inch brake drums is cast FIAT, but which model would have the axle have been from??

This is the end view of them!

The fiat one could be off a 124 spider
has it got pickup points for multilink suspension?

If it did have then they have been removed.

I wasn't looking for identification to sell them, i was thinking of getting something ready for the pick up for when i ruin the standard one!!

I do also have a Marina one sat there, but that is ready to fit to a saloon or traveller complete with the rear antiroll bar and everything!
