english axle
can anyone identify this axle .I know it is the english axle as the diff housing bolts to the front,but I thought the rear cover was fairly flat this
one protrudes out a fair bit and has welds all around it(look closely)

Now that you have pointed that out, I recall seeing Hot Rod Escorts and Anglias modified thus. The reasoning being to ensure enough oil during the
turns when otherwise it would be down one axle tube due to centrifugal force.
