whats the track difference between an escort and a cortina??
As above, i might be coming by an axle from a cortina, and wondered whether it was longer or different in any way to hthe escort one: i.e. will it fit
straight into a book locost??
Ed.
P.S. also, can i get a slipper diff for it, and are they megabucks??

Ed,
Cortina/capri axles are a bit wider, I'm guessing 3-4inches as i know people have suggested using them on the +4 chassis. I know jasper had a
spare cortina axle a while back, not sure if he's still got it. the main reason jasper changed his was that it was the wrong ratio for a bec,
though would be fine for a pinto. not sure about lsd's, someone else might be able to tell us...

The various diff ratios have all been discussed on here before, the search doobie might proove useful.
if all else fails give us a yell, we have the haynes manual for the mk IV cortina.
