Hey guys i have started a build of a atlas rear aksel for my road going escort mk 2. I already have 2 std capri halfshaft but they are to long to cut down to std escort, so now i need to know where to get a set of QUAIFE ATLAS GROUP 1 HALFSHAFT 16T HD and QUAIFE ATLAS GROUP 1 FLANGE. of course i have tried burton, rallydesign etc. but i still think, it must be possible to get them at a lower price somewhere it was indeed not my plan to use 541pounds in burtons favour right after Christmas to get my escort on the road

 

you could try fostek mate

http://www.fostek.co.uk/


exactly what they specialise in

 

rally and competition equipment. Biddulph stoke-on-trent. try them. not sure on there prices. 01782 518631 ask for Phil or Mick

 

Will try fostek, thanks mate

 

Drop SteveBoySlim on here a PM, he deals with loads of quaiffe stuff, thats who I always buy my diffs etc through.

 

Thanks Chip. can see you use Atb diff are they better than lsd diff's ?

 

It depends on the application.

For a road going car they are fantastic as they still allow you to parellel park normally etc, they just dont effect normal road manners at all, and on tarmac they work very well, on loose surfaces though a plated diff is generally a better option than the quaiffe ATB one (although quaiffe do also do plated diffs as well for some cars)

What is it you are going to be using yours for? (ie what car and what sort of use like trackdays or roadcar or racing or rallying etc?)

 

This escort is only for fast road use and is was looking for a god diff, i already have a plate diff on my rally escort. so sounds like a good idea to buy atb then

 

Yes for a road car the ATB is a good option, drives nicely and requires no regular servicing either.

 

Thats a good thing. I was aiming for around 200bhp on my pinto so i think it must be a nessesary to put a atb in my atlas to put the power to the road

 

200bhp from an N/A pinto will be an impressive result

 

Yep but will not be the first then Have a good friend that have been building rally escorts for over 10 years, when he does he's magic things happens

 

I am a newbie here and just wanna say Hi to everyone. I am Daniel from Pennsylvania, US.
