does anyone here know anything about them?

another dax owner has what he was told was an atlas axle (dax used to use cortina donors)
it has 5 wheel studs on a ~120mm PCD and suits a ford centre bore, although its drums apear to have been modified

anyone know what this axle might be and how to identify it ?

there was an M-Taunus Atlas axle
http://www.vkukko.fi/ford/atlas.htm
it seems to have been used on the P100 pickup. i think they had 5 wheel studs

If it's a 5 stud then it's a p100. They originally had monster drums on. They're super heavy with 10mm thick tube walls.

There was a baby atlas - they cost more than the Pink Panther these days - Mk1 3.0L capri, a heavy duty atlas - yours, a wide atlas - later capris, A transit atlas and a weaker cortina atlas.
