i was asking of that

[zetecmk2]

are the bolt spacings even on the diff cover?

yes=atlas

no=koln (considered weaker than an english, although i've never heard of a controlled experiment )

[jamesmk1]

thanks mate so it looks like i have a baby atlas

 

so what do i need to make this fit a mk1 escort

[sambo]

i think you should sell it to me instead.

Whats the width? the baby atlas was a motorsort only part

the narrow is Mk1 capri, wide Mk2/3 capri and uber wide Mk3/4/5 cortina

[gpcmatric]

would it have anti roll bar mounted on top?

[jamesmk1]

just got it of the car and it is a atlas, it has been 4 linked and looks the same width as a escort axle.

saw the axle today and it has 2 brackets cast into the casing at 45 degs on each side/top of the diff,and these are bushed.strange?

[w p e]

what type of bushes? not void bush's mk3/4/5 cortina axle ?

[gpcmatric]

I will take some pics tomorrow .cheers Wayne

Bushes on the top of the diff will be cortina so you have a shortend cortina axle like i said the baby atlas was a motorsport only item and uber rare, still if it fits and works who cares

sorry miss labling items is a pet hate like calling laser alloys RS ect

Just make sure it's actually an atlas and not a KOLN axle

If the diff cover bolts to a flange around the diff housing it's an atlas if the cover bolt difectly to the diff case it's a koln (and pretty fooking useless TBH) if you need proof i've blown 15 Kolns and only 1 atlas in 24 years in old fords

Is this a cortina axle in this escort then??
