Nick Jones Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Not Dolomite / Toledo. Lacks the brackets for the upper links.I think it is a Ford "English" axle modified for extra links similar to thishttp://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?t=141120Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diff is stamped CD129H84 and it has a 4.11 ratio 37/9The axle was on Ebay purporting to be Morris1000. I collected it from a scrapyard in Cornwall but didn't see the car it had come from. The chap told me that it was a nice car weighed in under the scrappage scheme so you can tell how long ago it was. When I saw it I said Ah anti tramp bars maybe from something special. I then noticed that the drive flanges were splined on. Uprated half shafts thought I. But having given the diff to a forum member to use as the basis of a rebuild for his A series BMC car he gave me the good news that it's not BMC so no good to him. He added that it's not Ford either. When I measured the stud pcd I thought it had to be Triumph. Quite a mystery.ps I've just discovered that Marinas use 3.75"pcd studs but I thought they had A series diffs.pps Wrong, they had a derivative of the Standard 10 so we are back to Triumph again or partially aren't we?

Nick Jones Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes, Marinas have Triumph PCD.Pretty sure that some Marinas at least use Triumph-like axles as IIRC the vans used to be a source of high ratio axles for the racing boys. Possibly a modified Marina axle then.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
