  ooops! anyone got a ford english/timken diff knocking about going cheap? theres a few on ebay but they are all obscure ratios hence going for a lot of cash - I'm not really fussed on ratios tho. still, i was quite proud of my efforts on that one ;D ;D ;D |

ive seen the exact saame diff (4.1:1 english jobby) in 300bhp cossie powered mk1 escorts.
not sure exactly how it went pop. although i was giving it a bit of a caning with 2 other lads in the back round a roundabout with a load of inverse camber and it.
after that point it didnt like turning corners without going 'BANG BANG BANG BANG'
;D ;D ;D
ah well, a new un's not gonna be a lot, ill live.

i was more concerned about rasing a sweat to remove the halfshafts from there 26 year place of residence with just about every slide hammer, puller, jigger, and general types of tugging that are known to man.
;D ;D

Well as its just the spider gears just get your welder out and weld them up. I am sure you would find a locked diff much more enjoyable ;D

mines already got a 4.1 diff (Well did before i broke it)
the 4.4 is the highest one (there is a 5.1, 6.1 and 6.6 diff also but i think these are aftermarket jobbies) that came in a standard car - and they fetch a fair whack on ebay, so ill stick with a 3.89 until i can afford to make up a decent back axle

it is hactually only the diff itself - silver lining to his cloud is that ive got a carrier and 4.1 CWP ready for an ATB diff ;D
