Hi trig

I know about the anglia van axle, 2 things hard to get hold of and I don't think it would cope with cosworth power, unless I spend a lot of money on it to uprate it ,,,, and Ive already got a LSD atlas that I will get shortened down

[freddy686868]

The anglia van axles do take power quite well as the shafts are shorter so they are harder to twist. I don't know what power your running but i'm running 190bhp and 200ft/lbs with road legal slicks and mine seams to be great for now. I'm also running a a plated diff.

I have looked into shortening an atlas too if you want the,
Gripper diff
Axle shortened
18spline 2 piece shafts
Rebuilt diff with new bearings
New cwp

It comes out at about 2 grand!
