The crown wheel bolts are all 10. The housing bolts come in either 8 or 10. The 8's are the smaller 7' crown wheel and are not interchangable with the bigger 8' parts.
The 7' with 8 bolts to the housing in the Bongo, Econovan/Spectron are 26 spline and are good for up to 250hp and still use the same LSD's. The axles in the Capellas, RX2's, Rx3's, Series 1 & 2 RX7 all used 24 spline axles and they were the weak point.
The Capella and RX2 diffs are the perfect length for the Escort unarched.
I will be using an RX4 12a housing and RX4/RX5 13b axles, 28 spline but again use the same 7' ring gear. Mine has bubble arches on it though and the RX4 12a housing is perfect.
