wondering id any-1 had got a 9" cut down for an escort/small corty
Im thinking about doing it coz Im constantly smashing spider gears or axles and am sick of it, is it possible to just get one then get it cut down/engineered to suit??

Thanks

I reckon you would find any advantage in strength would be negated by the weight. 9" diffs are bloody heavy!

What are you doing that is breaking your diffs and axles?

i like doing burnouts but axles and diffs dont after a while, I remember something bout volvo diffs somewhere, I had a volvo years ago and I smoked the hell out of it constantly and it was fine.....Im at the stage where ill try pretty much anything

my current crownwheel has 35 teeth and the pinion has 9, I dont know alot about diffs......... the tag had pno ar2925e-4005-e
with a 3.89 ratio and serial no 4192, does this all seem right??

Have you though about an old hilux diff???

Get a falcon diff mate, plenty strong enough without the weight of a 9". Also have you concidered how much power a 9" will rob from your car just trying to turn the diff? Old hilux diff is a tried and proven diff (also about the easiest diff conversion known to man) but they are starting to get real thin on the ground.

Id go a hilux diff...
Wat engine combo r u running?

Best option is to part company with the Escort and buy a real man's car - a Falcon with the 9" and top loader and a Cleveland. But then maybe keep the Escort to take ma shopping, or if it is raining and you don't want to get the Falcon wet.

Better still, grow up.

Its a mk2 cortina running a worked 2lt, any-one know if ill need to change the whole axle or will a hilux/falcon centre be right in there??

its at the burnout comp
Also does any-1 know if the Escorts n cortys had the same rear axles, mines a 1970 mk2
