i want to build a locost but i dont know what to do about the axle,

any good suggestions?

the mk1 /2 escort axle is becoming expensive due to demand,

what alternatives are there?

reliant Robin axle?
Bedford Rascal axle?

are they too weak?

how bout a scimitar axle?

cheers

Sierra with the GTS de-dion rear mod will be the easiest route.

Pat...

just re-engineer any thing you can find with irs

or a De-Dion from jroberts (on this site)
comes in both sizes escort width or sierra,
good value for money.
and prompt delivery

. Thanks Paul.

It just so happens i've posted the last one of the last batch, i had done in the for sale section on the forum today.

Thanks

I have a Capri Axle! A few of these still lying around in scrappies, have a look around the edges of the dodgier yards axles used to get dropped before they weighed in the shells and they are heavy to move around so may be lying under other stuff , that's where I found mine!
