DAZZA Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 can someone confirm the difference in English, Atlas and Sailsbury axles? ..... myself and my supposed petrol head mate are in dispute! ...... nice one
over_head_cam Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I always thought that the Salisbury was the English. Front loading in Anglias escorts cortinas etc Atlas as far as i know is rear loading and had heavier duty components (and dearer ) There is another axle which is rear loading for the diff but it's neither of the two and apparently not very good. there was a feature about the differences in one of the mags a while back, I'll see if I can dig it out
60ftman Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 English is the standard Anglia / Escort / Capri front-loading axle (where the whole of the diff assembly bolts into the front of the axle casing.) Salisbury is rear-loading. Diff casing is part of the axle casing, and CW&P are fitted into it. Atlas is the very strong version of the Salisbury axle used in competition (rally & race cars etc).
over_head_cam Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 There you go In a nutshell (or diff casing)
DAZZA Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Thankyou, I stand corrected......
