Hello !
It's been years since I've posted here last time but finally here I'm again... I hope you all are doing well.
I've got some questions about Atlas axle. The axle we have ( me and my friend - TS member - KR54321 ) comes from Ford Taunus Mk3 1600, which is - as we believe the same car as Ford Cortina Mk5. The diff ratio is 3,86.
We want to fit it with a LSD unit so we thought that we need a unit with 16 tooth spline which is the number that almost all Atlas axles have except Ford Motorsport ones that as we know have 18 tooth spline.
We dissasembled the rear axle and what have we found ? Halfshafts and sidegears have 22 tooth spline - just the number of splines that English axles have. What is that ? How it is possible ? Have You ever seen something like that ?
What should we do now ? Will Englis axle LSD unit fit it ?
The second axle we have is a Ford Taunus one - probably Estate with 4,44 diff ratio. It is still on the car. Will the internals interchange ? Please guide us through this minefield.
Thanks in advance.
CheeRS !
