hi,
just having fun, trying to fit prop. carnt seem to find the correct size bolt to fit into MK2 escort diff flamge. (i'm guessing it's imperial or am i being stupid)

I am faily sure the MK2 was metric, my capri ones were M10x1.0mm offset, not the type of size that you normally have in the bottom of your toolbox

Just tried an M10 x 1.25 and i think i may have threaded it a bit, Opps !

I was impashont (bloody crap at spelly so thought id spell it foneticaly) and it felt alright, the thing is it has got some paint in it which really we need to clean first and know for sure whether its going in and not just a bit firm because of the paint.

STupid i know but i like to get a job and hate it when you get stuck half way.

I think im gonna go and ask my local parts man for some bolts and let him find out.

How can i define what diff i have as bought from ford parts company and couldn't really be sure if mk1 or 2?

Mk1 used 5/16" UNF

just looked at what our rear axle is and its the timken type. does this help

cheers

The ones on my Capri axle are anyway.

hi
just bought some m10x1.0 bolts and they fit a treat,
