Reliant axles round this way fetch good money and are getting scarce.

Anyone narrowed a ford axle?Like mk2 escort/cortina et al.

S'pose any rear drive axel worth considering.Someone mentioned suzuki vitara ratios were good.Do they or the rascal narrow well??

Any ideas guys??

Hi Drew, only just seen this post! :o

I've got a diff, drive shafts and disc brake hubs, built into a very rigid tube backend. We narrowed it 13" to make the geometry correct for the max?
