escort axle identifiacation

[zeff737]

Hi there, can any one help me find out which bearings i need for a back axle ive bought off ebay.

 

The add said its off a mk2 escort, but no other details.

Ive contacted him to see if he could tell me which model/cc of escort it was and he's said he doesn't know other that he took it off a 1600 mk2 rally car about 10 years ago (if i'd known it had been rallied i'd of run a mile, it also had about a thimble full of oil in it!)

 

I beleive its a banjo?!?, the diff comes out from the flange side whilst the rear case is not removable. There are numbers cast into the diff but im not near the car at the mo, i think one is T4, then a code if that helps any, i'll try to add it at the weekend unless some one can I.D it before then.

 

I just need to know which bearings the shafts take.

Any help would be great!

As far as I know all the bearings are the same on a MK2, maybe the MK1 as well but not sure

I think your right m8

Yes, i'd have thought the same, but no, the rs and mexico has a different set and they differ upon which type of axle is fitted. specialist ebay traders lists at least 2 if not 3 different sets!?

The numbers cast into the diff case are:

 

T30 73AG 4025CA S&SH

 

if thats any help.

 

Thanks
