MEXY867M Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 any ideas lads tags are all on it brand new never been on a car would be good to know any info,cheers,
philrs Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 looks very similar to an axle out of an auzzie car or that but i dont think it is possibly a toyota hi-ace due to the ratio
HotRodMatt Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 Tag says Gearmax Parts and Service SA in the bottom picture, so could be South African would be my guess? Try and find an e-mail or phone number through Google and ask 'em what the numbers mean. Cheers Matt out
MEXY867M Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Posted May 22, 2009 you are right about the south african part mate and was told they fit the escorts , salsbury type/atlas ??????????
HotRodMatt Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Yup, diff fits from the rear on salisbury/atlas axles. Just a thought, but could the 77 in the number 77AC-4005-BC relate to the year of manufacture? Ford part numbers have two numbers in them representing the year that part was introduced (eg AB85xxxx for '85 and so on) so this could be following that trend... Cheers Matt out
Retromotorsport Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Its a Salisbury axle of an early Morgan 4/4 plus 8 Allthough the mounts look strange ..but the center is definatly the same as the Morgan Axle ..i'm not too hot on the smaller Salisburys, as the 3/5/7HA's are weaker than an atlas, the 4HA being stronger than an Atlas is the one i'm used to as we have them on Escorts, Sunbeams (bothe Tigers and Lotus) and Chevettes
bortaf Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 It's a borg warner unit, sourced localy in port elizabeth, know in SA as the Joburge axle i believe, seen em before on SA imports No idea if the internals are interchangable with the atlas ? AC is an escort SA part number like AB and AG are Britain and German part numbers, SA cars were supplyed as NDK and built using many localy sourced parts Heres one in a imported sescort and diff tag
Retromotorsport Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 I'll agree it was stuck under Escort Knock Down Kits ... but amongst the many things BW have made including variable geometry tubos ... they never made axles allthough the parts division would supply other manufactures parts. I'm pretty damm sure they never made live axles, which is strange considering their main business is gearboxes.
Retromotorsport Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 just been looking for you, just incase you want to fit it to an escort .. You might get parts is the from gomog.com and they list the axle as a Salisbury for early models and a Dana for the later ones, Dana is still going so you should be able to get spares, or send an email to Dean at Salisbury Transmissions ....... salisburyaxles@aol.com He should be able to give you some idea of parts and cost
bortaf Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Just going by what the South Africans call em have a gander here for more info http://www.africanmusclecars.com/forum/index.php do a search for "escort diff" here's a site with LSD for the BW diffs http://gallery.oldholden.com/HQ_SS/Tech ... arner+LSD/ Lools like th Aussie escorts used them as well http://www.bmsc.com.au/forums/buy-sell- ... arner.html
