free diff bits

[geoffersmasher]

well when i got my cortina this was stuck in the boot, i have no need for it so anyone on here is welcome to it, it weights some so you will have to pick it up or perhaps ill bring it to a meet

 

this is of course if its worth having

The edge of the crownwheel (big cog ) It will have some numbers stamped on it A photo of that will give peeps the diff ratio

 

It looks complete in the pic and the teeth 'look' sharp.

[geoffersmasher]

the ratio is (well the number anyway) is A68-33 105e-4210

 

i wrote it down just forgot to add it

 

any good to anyone

[johnny_h]

Yes please I need a english diff. Any english diff!

[over_head_cam]

4.1 Geoff. Quite desirable

[geoffersmasher]

is it any good (dont worry some one can still have it for nowt)

what sort of application is the ratio used for

and why "english"

 

haha sorry for the questions but i have a thirst for knowledge

[johnny_h]

4.1 for fast acceleration, not so good for top speed. English axle as opposed to Atlas axle.

[geoffersmasher]

desirabe ey hmm it goes to the highest beer bidder , haha would i be better off fitting it in my motor?

tho im guessing its probably the same as the guy said he had two 1 in the car and one spare.

[over_head_cam]

Most escorts are standard 3.89:1

 

The 4.125:1 makes for quicker acceleration, and coupled with a 5 speed will still give a pretty decent top end.

 

The 'English' bit describes the type of axle that it comes from. Anglias escorts, cortinas etc

[Vista]

English is the name given to rear axles commonly found on Anglias and Escorts where the diff is loaded from the front.

 

Atlas (and the undesirable Kohln but often confused with Atlas) axles are equipped with rear loading diffs.

 

Just to confuse things further, the diffs themselves may also be referred to by the names Salisbury and Timken (though I forget which way round those two names apply)

 

If it is indeed a 4.1:1 then it's to low a ratio for my needs, but I'm sure it'll be snapped up.

[Noodles]

Mines got 4.1 diff with a 5 speed, the estates came with 4.1 top tip, I calculated that you loose 13% top end but get there quicker, dont know how true that is

[geoffersmasher]

ok then well if its up to scratch for someones needs, then someone can have it for 50, is there anyway of checking what i have on mine without opening it up?

[johnny_h]

Wow it went from free to 50 quid pretty quick

[Noodles]

Whats a sailsbury? diff mean????

[geoffersmasher]

haha well i didnt know it was worth anything, may as well make a couple of quid from it and put it to a faster better home

[geoffersmasher]

ok then 30 and a pint

[johnny_h]

Cooool
