Hi,
Can anyone help? I've got a cortina axle with the following tag attached to the diff.

L3CD 3.54 ??
75AG4004AGM

Can anyone tell me what model this came off so i can order some brake parts?

All help appreciated

Cheers

Matt

OK - I now think that this is the diff from an escort and am wondering whether i have an escort or cortina axle! What are the lengths of cortina axles hub to hub?

Mk2 Escort is 48" IIRC.
Got a pic?

I'll try to post a pic tomorrow.

I've posted some pics in the archive.
All help appreciated.

Capri is roughly 52" between backplates but has the bolt on diff cover. That has spring hangers so if it's Cortina it's not mk3. Also the trailing arm brackets are well out so it may have been fitted to a wider chassis.

that axle looks strangley familiar,where did you get it?

It looks VERY similar to mine, but the diff is different, mine is an atlas so it 'must' by a timken? My guess would be a 2.0 Mk2-3 capri (3.54 ratios in the 2.0's). Someone has even notched the stiffening land to fit a book chassis

The axle's from mnr racing! If i turn one wheel in the drive direction the other turns in the opposite direction. Does this mean that the axle is non LSD?
cheers

Also the axle's 47ins between the backplates.

Looks like an Escort axle to me, which has been modified to accept vertical turrets and a panhard rod, both common Escort modifications.
