Capri axle 52"

[Fozzy48]

Looking for a capri 52" axle. After the debacle of the cortina axle which turned out to be 54" 'don't ask' I was going to try and get the width on RS2000 escort back end by using spacers and offset wheels. This is gonna cost me as much than to just put a capri axle on and use the wheels I have. So I am looking for a capril axle in the Yorkshire area. If anyone knows of one then let me know.

Cheers.

How'd you get on with those Callipers. Did they clean up OK? 

[Fozzy48]

Hi mate, they're still ongoing at the moment. I stripped them down and I've bought a new seal and piston kit for them. My mate has took them to work to bead blast them before rebuilding. I had a pair of caliper brackets delivered yesterday so it's all coming together, albiet sloooooowly, Lol, but I'm in no rush. 

Cheers bud.

Hi,

 

Would a 50 inch MK1 Capri Atlas axle be a better fit and then no need for off set wheels etc-etc.

 

Regards.

Hi Al, That would only gain me about 1.5" extra as the rs axle is 48.5". 

I want to get the wheels out nearly level with the tarmac arches for that euro look. From mine at the top to the black one.

Cheers.
