POP7 Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Any easy way to distinguish if the axle is Ital or Ford ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Ford axles have the word "Ford" stamped on them.......... The PCD is larger............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdg Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Ital diff.carrier is alloy, Ford is cast iron with an offset pinion (to the offside). Chris. ps Ford diff/carrier weighs 19kg, Ital/Marina 10kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POP7 Posted April 16, 2002 Author Share Posted April 16, 2002 Thanks guys, I guess it is an Ital as the PCD is smaller than the Ford wheels that I am selling. Can't manage to look at the axle properly until weekend so can confirm it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Turner Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 All the Ital diffs I fitted in my old LA car were definitely cast iron not alloy. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Turner Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 John Spot on there mate, bet Chris is still working out how to put the 4 Briggs and Stratton engines onto a common crankcase. Will it be a strait 4 or a V4, will it use magnetos or be on management, if it retains the rotary cutting blades will they be considered to be moving aerodynamic devices and finally where will the grass bag be fitted, a side mounted one could take out the timing beam.
