right, i would have posted this in tech section, but the auction ends in 2 hours (please dont bid against me ) as you may already know i need a new axle to accomadate the type 9. there is one on ebay (single piece jobby) that was mated up to an atlas back axle, is this the same fitting as the english axle?


thanks boys!!

The end plate for both english and atlas axles are the same bolt configuration.

thankyou very much mate. what sort of prices do these fetch?

[Banishit]

if its a single piece Prop you are on about then new ones are £98 inc vat if that gives you an idea!

[lathamescortmk2]

so no higher than £50 for a second hand one? (that includes delivery)

should really say too much whilst the auction is still running!

:flower:

[Banishit]

the average single piece in good order goes for around £45 + £10 delivery, but as I said save a little bit more and get a new with warranty for £100 from R.A.C.E

hmmm, a new one sounds like a very nice option, but im not going to give it much stick with my 1.3 :colors:, and im a student, which means modding on a budget :cyclops:

[lathamescortmk2]

on the subject, is a sailsbury axle, an englsih, or atlas axle?

[RSBOREHAM]

A salisbury axle is the reference used for the atlas type axle, this is usually available in the 'baby' width or the wide version used on the capri's (52")
The english axle is also referred to as the Timken axle.

The main difference between the two is on the english variety the diff gears are removable in one unit (from the front of the casing), whereas the atlas type is built into the main casing (from the rear).
