    Is there a guide to coverting to an atlas?

    I've searched threw 7 pages on atlas axles but cant find anything on actually fitting one.

    Its a mk1 capri 50" item I've got, going on a mk2 rs2000 thats getting a yb.

    Ive decided for just now just to run it on leaves, can i just chop everything off my rs axle and weld them on to the atlas - spring plates, tramp brackets etc, how would i go about the removal of the parts and repositioning? Would I be better getting a RACE anti trramp kit etc??

    The spring plates wont fit without reshaping as the tubes are a different thickness to an english. You are best to use the ones from the atlas if possible. Tramp bar mounts should be ok as they are only small

    I know Gartrac sell them. Fostek may sell them separately. Probably the likes of Rally Design, West Wales Rally Spares, Grp4 Fabrication etc may sell them.
