7.5" diff = S/H is in the order of 3.5K - 4K

Sump = S/H about 1K

Cross shaft = S/H about 600 - 1K

These were the diffs used by the works saphs and escorts, up until a failure in the Acropolis rally IIRC when they switched to the 8.5" front diff..then onto the Xtrac....


Totally different in every way shape and form to the standard, quaife or even the R & D....they will take massive amounts of torque, as they were designed to operate with the 50/50 split centre diff.....100mm lobro output flanges to accomodate bigger drive shaft and outer c.v.'s...
