English axle / irs
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...

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

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
