I have a Ford Anglia 105e with a 2.9i engine and 4 speed. I have never managed to get an english axle with lower gearing and LSD for a decent price. Can anyone tell me anything about a cossie siera back end. Do these have LSD's? do they mount on a beam? What is their track? If anyone has any suggestions on a likely IRS with LSD replacement can they please tell me about it.
Cheers,

Neil

The Cossies are independant suspension and maybe difficult to fit without big mods, you really need a live axle- the only one I can think of which has a LSD is the 2.8 capri, which maybe too wide or a special(Quaife?)MK2 escort, these wont be cheap tho...

www.raldes.co.uk sell LSD kits and crownwheel and pinions as low as 3.3:1 for mk 1 and 2 escorts

Vauxhall Senator and Opel Monza did a LSD and are live axle

Sounds like your problem it the 4speed gearbox, the highest ratio of which will be 1:1. What you need is a 5speed gearbox which will have 5th gear in the region .8 (as are most Ford 5speeds). You will then have a much wider choice of suitable axles

or!!!!!

a mate of mine cut the axle tubes off a atlas axle used the inner cv joints from a golf and welded the splines from the half shaft on

(he used vr6 shafts but was usin hubs and struts as well)

make up wishbones and shafts use fwd uprights and struts

and viola irs on the cheap and works well 2
