It's a minefield this axle search. Can you explain what the issue is with the Atlas Sierra P100? Does it have the mounts on the Pig Head and can it accept a Capri diff? This is what I understand so far then about the Cortina axle varieties: · Cortina Banjo = English (No good in terms of strength and ratio options that I need) · Koln (Looks like an Atlas but with unequal bolt pattern) = (No good in terms of strength, LSD option or ratio options that I need) · Cortina Atlas Light Duty (As fitted to V6/Estate) - Has longer and narrower half shafts with more splines (22 I think) = No LSD option · Cortina Based P100 = Borg Warner (won’t accept a Capri Diff) · Sierra Based P100 = Atlas (Don’t know anything else about it)

I understand that the p100 uses a Borg Warner axle, so I would struggle to get the ratio (3.09) I am after, unless someone knows otherwise.

Thanks Colr6. Very helpful. Other than checking half shaft splines/diameters do t suppose you know what external clues there are between a heavy and light duty Atlas?

Hi, does anyone have an Atlas rear axle for a MK3, 4, 5 Cortina they want shut of? I want to replace my Koln axle with an Atlas. Ideally in the South London Area (I'm at CR8). Thanks Richard
