p100 axle...is it any good

[d8vyr]

can someone tell me if the axle from a p100 is much different from the capri item cheers davy

[V8ian]

Some have a real strange stud patern, Transit I think, If I remember correctly it should be a thick wall casing, heavy but strong, Bortaf is the man to ask about P100s on here,

[ratman]

didnt one of the mags do a feture on the diffrent axels a wlie back

 

I seam to rember the P100 had 10mm thick axel tubes like ian said proper heavy duty Bortaf is defo the man to ask

 

or try

Yes, classic Ford about 18 months or so ago. I have a copy so I'll try and find it tonight and post a photo of the P100 axle comments

bleedinhg heavy i know that !

very H/D casing, very low diff ratio, rally boys love em

early will have rover SD1 stud pattern later (5ierra) are transit SWB stud pattern.

I sell em to grass trackers and rally chappies in Ireland

spring saddles will need moving and shock mounts ect.

TBH unless your runnung Huge power or are on really rough surfaces a standard atlas will do, these are really H/D spec and the weight really needs to be offset by NEEDING something this H/D.

Or at least that's what i've picked up selling a few

i sold my P100 to someone building a V8 kit car, all he wanted it for was the axel
