paul capri Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 capri axle is the atlas. they are usually 52" wide and I believe they need shortening to 48". Im not sure what else is involved but its not a straight swap.
PIG Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 mk1 capri axle will fit without shortening but the spring plates need moving i think,but they are 50inch,standard escort lenght is 48inch
herb capri Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 it'll fit but capri mk1 has one shock mount in front of axle and one to rear of axle saddle mount grind em off and its easy [ish]
bortaf Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Are all Mk1 capri axles 50 inch or only the 3.0 ?
JP. Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Capri mk3 axle will fit without shortening but not without modification. Brackets wont fit for one (shocks & springsadles)(also counts for the Capri mk1 axle). Second as the Capri mk3 axle is wider 6j wheels are max unless you have widened the body.
