Don't think Tom makes them anymore, which is a shame as they were mustard.
A lad on here does them, BigG. Your best trying to get a decent one thru the forums/ebay & then hand it over to the expert for building it.
If you cant find BigG let me know & I'll pass you his number
I can build on to your spec if you want to drop me a pm.
What sort of spec, and what sort of budget are you playing with? You're looking at anything between £2000 and £5500 for a new axle depending what you're after...but you can quite easily go closer to £8000 if you want special shafts, titanium studs, exotic LSD's etc. Plenty of folks around that can supply axles...here's 4 casings I've fabricated this week, and will all be fully built up by the end of the weekend.
PM me with your required spec if you'd like a quote....
Hi
out of curiosity how much is one of those fully floating casing with all the bracketry, and would there any price difference between a baby (narrow) atlas or a wide casing?
Yea I know.
Ive got a Group 1 disc braked baby atlas with a slipper atm...
have a look on the gartrac site they have retubed and new diff housing ones on there and seem a reasonable price. Just don't forget to price up the rest of the gubbins you need to make it work.
Not an Atlas query but relevant. Any ideas on a cure for leaking Quaife semi floating hubs on an English axle?
I can't seem to find a seal kit or bearings listed anywhere?
Silicon sealer on the faces maybe

duct tape seriously guys have been sealing fully floating axles with it for years.
Seriously...so where do you duct tape?
on a fully floating axle most of the rally guys put duct tape around the circumference of the alloy hub and drive shaft flange making an oil tight seal cause sometimes some oil can get past the hub o ring a combination of hard cornering causing oil to surge and heavy pounding.its mostly done as a precaution you just dont want to take a chance of oil getting on your discs or pads.
