    Atlas axle large diff tunnel

    Is this needed ? I see the atlas is quite a lot bigger than the english but is it only for rally cars etc who need more travel or would a road car need one ? Only asking as i have the welder out the escort mk1 and thinking of future proofing for when i will fit an atlas.


    Thanks

    Don't think a road car needs one ...

    I don't have one on Fly but removed the centre bump stop to give a bit more clearance
    (not sure if a Mk1 has a centre bump stop)

    Don't have one on mine - ran a few track days and never had any problems with it hitting the tunnel.

    just fitting my atlas axle and I have unbolted the bumpstop as it would just hit it on full compression, (4 link, turrets coilovers) but no need to add more clearance
