The escort and cortina flange should be the same, all ford pass.cars flanges should
be the same pattern

Well, there are 2 sizes of Escort flanges, for a start!

I think it's 1 size of the Mk1 Escort, and another size for the rest.

rgds,

This is a problem I have at present, my diff flange is smaller than most i have seen and i havent yet found a propflange to fit. The larger flange seems to be the one fitted to all sierras and capris and I assume cortinas.

I cannot say about the escort flanges, but the sierra and capri ones are identical

I appear to be the opposite m8...
I have a one piece prop with a very small flange and a diff with a larger flange.. i shall measure tonight and post sizes.. Can you do same.. maybe a swap is on order

So my diff flange is 106mm dia and hole centres approx 92mm.
My prop flange is 87mm with approx 70mm hole centres.

anyone any ideas?

cheers

The Sierra diff flange is 110 dia with a 90mm pcd .It sounds as if this would fit you diff.The two i have both have knackered joints and are the non circlip staked type , i think it is possible to repair them some how and one has been repaired in the past by welding washers over the end of the joint which does not look good to me.
There should be plenty of Sierra props for you to use, and i think I have now got a spare axle with larger flange for my car.

Tx m8

But not interested in using sierra stuff. Would rather know what the diff and prop originally belonged to.
I'll need to get under mk2 Donar and see whats on that

It doesn't matter what it's off, you will have to cut it anyway. My prop is off a Transit.

yours, Pete.
